The Government of Canada has released the details of this week’s Express Entry draw, inviting 668 candidates to apply for permanent residence.
Invitations were received on March 18, however official details of the draw were released today, March 20. This draw brings the total number of invitations to apply (ITAs) issued so far this year through Canada’s Express Entry System to 19,368.
The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score requirement was 720.
The score requirement may seem high compared to the last Express Entry draw that required a score of 471, however, this draw only included candidates that had provincial nominations aligned with Express Entry.
Despite COVID-19 measures slowing down Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) services, Canada is still striving to meet its immigration targets set for 2020. Many of those are allotted to obtain permanent residence through Canada’s Express Entry system.
