What a Start! 3,400 Newcomers Invited in First Express Entry Draw of 2020
February 9, 2021
|
The 134th Express Entry draw and the first for 2020 kicked off on January 8th. The Canadian Government issued 3,400 candidates invitations to apply (ITA) for permanent residency. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score for the draw was 473. The admissions target for 2020 is higher than it’s ever been before at 85,800 foreign nationals who, during the course of the year, will be granted opportunities to make Canada their new home. This ambitious figure plays a major role in combating Canada's declining birth rate and retiring workforce over the next decade. This is great news for skilled and semi-skilled foreign workers who are looking for better career opportunities abroad and a higher quality of life. They can apply through the Express Entry system to jumpstart their Canadian journey. Find out if you’re eligible to enter the Express Entry draw
