Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held the latest express draw on March 20, issuing the invitations to the candidates who have registered under the federal government’s express entry program for Canada PR visa.
Candidate with the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 452 points has issued the Invitation to Apply (ITA), which is a drop of two points from the previous express draw.
With the latest express draw, it sees the IRCC issued a total 21,200 ITAs this year via the express entry system in 2019. Last year at the same time period in 2018 only 14,500 ITAs were issued. The difference between the ITAs of the two years is of 14,500 ITAs which is in route to breaking the previous record of issuing the most invitations in a single year as it is planned by the IRCC for the year 2019 and 2020. IRCC want to set higher admission record for year 2019 and 2020 for the candidates who have applied under the three Canada’s skilled economic immigration program – Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
In order to be eligible for express entry program, candidates have to meet the minimum requirements. Once they are able to meet the requirements, their profile is then submitted into the express pool where it is issued a score that is awarded based on factors like age, educational qualifications, work experience and language proficiency in either English or French language. Candidates with the highest score have then issued the ITA via which the candidates can apply for Canada PR visa.
IRCC used their tie-break rule for the latest express draw with the tamp stamp used was February 7, 2019, at 9:59:25 UTC. This means the candidates who have entered the express pool before the used time stamp and have the CRS equal or more than 452 points were issued the ITAs to apply for Canada PR visa.
The two previous express draws has seen consecutive decrement of the CRS cut-off, this is mainly because of the fact that IRCC only allowed two weeks between the draws. With IRCC looking to increase the admission rate, we can see the upcoming draws with bigger size especially in the second quarter of the year. The second quarter of both 2017 and 2018 has seen bigger express draws with low CRS cut-offs.

Express Entry Candidates Invited By Alberta For Provincial NominationYear 2019 Starts with the Largest First Express Draw for Express Entry ProgramEver since I have been in words with Team Nationwide, I have received every kind of support I have looked for, starting from transcript to IELTS coaching they have helped me through all. I already have referred three of my friends to them because to the services delivered and shall be doing it in near future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I chose to opt for Nationwide for filingmy Permanent Residence for Canada. My parents today are proud of me for making a right choice and it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got Nationwide Visas reference through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of the Team. He appropriately mentioned about the documentation and correct recommendations which I can cherish now.
Before initiating my process, I was bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained me the whole process over the call itself and no where convinced me to just initiate, I did not gave it any second thought and initiated my process. Each of the case managers is well verse with the process and never fails short of expectations if I walk up to them for any queries.
From the past 4 months, I had been struggling with the under- standing of the process and wanted to look for a consultant who cannot only let me know the process but can also guide me about what all are options available for me.So, after reading there reviews I approached Nationwide and walkingby the words of their reviews they told me clearly about my chances which I already knew but was just checking on them.
