On September 14, Immigration Bureau issued a total of 3,250 invitations to the recent fast-track draw, the sixth time that the full-category draw has been resumed since July 6. The minimum comprehensive ranking system (CRS) for
invitations has a score of 511. There is no category specified for draws, which means invitations come from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) as well as the Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP). Fast access is one of the most important ways to immigrate to Canada.
Before the last draw on August 31, the number of candidates for each draw increased by 250. Last week, 500 more immigration invitations were issued, and today’s draw is a continuation of that trend. The minimum invitation score is also gradually decreasing, this time down by five points. The minimum CRS score for the July 6 draw was 557.
Starting from December 2020, the Immigration Bureau suspended the full-category fast-track lottery draw for more than 18 months. During this period, only candidates who meet the permanent residence qualification who meet the CEC or the Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) will be invited to apply. However, the CEC draw was also suspended in September 2021.
Canada is expected to usher in nearly 432,000 immigrants
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser recently said that by the end of 2022, Canada will break the current record of 405,330 new immigrants in one year. As of the end of June, Canada has welcomed more than 300,000 new permanent residents in 2022.
So far, Canada has received 40,785 immigrants through the express channel. If it continues at the current rate, Canada may even surpass the nearly 432,000-person target of the 2022 immigration level program.
To increase these numbers, the Immigration Bureau has taken measures such as 100% digitizing the application process and hiring an additional 1,250 new employees.
Canada will continue to expand its immigration program as it will help Canada cope with historically low unemployment rates and over one million job openings. The increase in retirement numbers over the next decade, coupled with low birth rates, means Canada cannot support labor or economic development without immigration.
Upcoming changes in 2023html
To better solve the labor gap, Immigration Canada plans to make major changes to EE in 2023. Most notably, these reforms will give Immigration invitations to individuals with specific work experience, education or language skills. These candidates can be anyone they believe can support Canadian economic and labor progress.
June, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser explained the rationale for the proposal at a meeting, saying: “If we can predict the skills needed for the next 20 to 30 years, we can bring more people who can have a significant impact on the Canadian economy.”
What is the EE fast track?
Express Entry is the three application management systems for the Canadian immigration program: the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP). Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) candidates in the Express Entry pool can be eligible to participate in at least one of these programs.
Express Entry Ranking candidates' profiles using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The candidate with the highest score will receive an invitation to apply (ITA) and can then apply for permanent residence from the Immigration Bureau. After the candidate application is applied for, the Canadian Immigration Agency will review the application and make a decision. The Immigration Bureau will request biometric information and may schedule an interview or request more documents. Once completed, if approved, the candidate is a permanent resident of Canada, one step closer to becoming a Canadian citizen.
