April 2, 2018 – The first quarter of 2018 saw a robust number of invitations under the Canada Express Entry system. Although the numbers were not quite as spectacular as 2017, this is partly explained by the likelihood that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is continuing to draw insight into how to enhance this management tool.

The most striking feature of the 2018 quarterly review is the impact of past modifications combined with the recent change, which enables immigration authorities to set precise draw sizes. Instead of irregular numbers of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) being issued in the past, 2018 has seen two draws of 2,750 and four of 3,000. This has also resulted in the ability to manage immigration numbers in tandem with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores.
