March 29, 2019 – Canada is firmly on track to issue a
record number of Express Entry
Invitations to Apply in 2019, after a strong start to the year
for the immigration system.
Average
Express Entry draw sizes reached a new high for the first
quarter as
Canada immigration authorities started 2019 by issuing
consistently large numbers of ITAs.
The six draws conducted so far this year have seen an average of
3,533 candidates per draw issued ITAs, with individual draw sizes
ranging from 3,350 to 3,900.
In those draws, minimum
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores have ranged between
438 and 457, giving a clear indication of where scores need to be
to achieve a coveted ITA.
