Sep 04, 2019 – Canada immigration authorities have conducted a new Express Entry<\/a> draw, issuing Invitations to Apply<\/a> (ITAs) to 3,600 candidates.<\/p>\n

The September 4 draw saw the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a> (CRS) increase by six points to 463.<\/p>\n

The draw saw Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada returns to its regular Wednesday slot, after the previous two draws took place on a Monday and a Tuesday.<\/p>\n

An IRCC spokesperson said the move away from Wednesday draws was due to system maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n

This was the fifth consecutive draw in which 3,600 ITAs have been issued.<\/p>\n

Authorities have now invited 59,800 candidates in 2019, against a high-skilled immigration admission target of 81,400.<\/p>\n

IRCC broke the record for annual Express Entry ITAs in 2018 with 89,800.<\/p>\n

The draw saw the tie-breaking rule implemented on August 23, 2019 at 9.33am EST. If more than one candidate had the minimum CRS score, only those who submitted their Express Entry profiles before this date and time received invitations.<\/p>\n

This was the 18th round of invitations under\u00a0Express Entry<\/a>\u00a0in 2019 and\u00a0125th<\/sup>\u00a0overall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Express Entry?<\/h3>\n

Express Entry is an immigration system implemented by Canadian immigration authorities (IRCC) on January 1, 2015 which manages skilled worker applications under Federal Economic programs. This includes the\u00a0Federal Skilled Worker Program<\/a>, the\u00a0Federal Skilled Trades Program\u00a0<\/a>the\u00a0Canada Experience Class<\/a>\u00a0and parts of the\u00a0Provincial Nomination Programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stakeholders expect to see near 30 draws and more than 80,000 invitations issued in 2019, with a majority of draws featuring CRS scores below\u00a0460\u00a0to enable Canadian immigration authorities to meet targeted\u00a0annual immigration levels for 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n
