2019-10-30 – Canada immigration authorities have passed
71,000
Invitations to Apply for
Express Entry in 2019 with a new draw issuing ITAs to 3,900
candidates.
The October 30 draw saw a minimum
Comprehensive Ranking System score of 475, 11 points higher
than the previous all-program draw.
The increased CRS score is a result of it being four weeks since
the previous all-program draw, which took place on October 2.
The program-specific
Federal Skilled Trades draw that took place on October 16 saw
lower-scoring profiles drawn from the pool.
Higher-scoring profiles have therefore built up over four weeks,
resulting in a higher minimum score.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has now invited
71,700 candidates in 2019, against a high-skilled immigration
admission target of 81,400.
