Express Entry Invitation

Express Entry: Another 5,000 immigrants invited in new draw

Canada has surpassed 1,00,000 ITA’s issued in 2020 which is the most ever in one year.

Ministerial Instructions respecting invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system #169 – December 09, 2020

Number of invitations issued: 5,000

Date and time of round: December 9, 2020 at 14:30:47 UTC

CRS score of lowest-ranked candidates invited: 469

If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.

The highest scoring candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian Permanent Residence in an Express Entry invitation round.

The new draw brings the total number of ITA’s issued in 2020 to 1,02,350.

This year is shaping up to be a new record-breaking year for Express Entry, as the number of ITA’s issued to date is the highest it has ever been. The invitations give clarity that Canada is going to reach their target which they have set to 4,00,000 for 2021.

ITA Graph
Express Entry is Canada’s immigration application management system for three federal economic-class programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class.

Candidates in these programs, as well as some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), are given a score based on the CRS. Points are awarded depending on a candidates’ human capital factors such as age, education, work experience, and language ability in English or French.

The highest scoring candidates receive an ITA, which they can then use to apply for Canadian permanent residence

The number of ITAs issued to date is the highest it has ever been. Canada surpassed its ITA target on November 18, when a record-breaking 5,000 ITAs were issued. There has also never been a single year where the number of ITAs issued surpassed 100,000.

In case of a tie between candidates, IRCC applies the tie-breaking rule. So, for this draw, candidates who had a CRS score of 469 or more, needed to have submitted their Express Entry profile before June 4, 2020, at 22:26:05 UTC in order to receive an invitation.

CRS cut-off score
This is the second time in a row that the CRS requirement has dipped to 469. The CRS requirement has typically hovered above 470 for all program draws. The Federal Skilled Trades Program-only draw on August 6 invited trades workers with a CRS of 415, and previous Canadian Experience Class-only draws dipped into the 440’s. PNP-only draws have higher requirements because Express Entry candidates who receive a provincial nomination are automatically awarded an additional 600 CRS points. PNPs offer alternative pathways to permanent residence for Express Entry candidates who have a lower CRS score.
