Canada announced its latest Express Entry for All-Program Draw

Once again, All-Program Draw is making headlines in Canada. The latest round of invitations for 800 applicants in the All-Program draw was made public by the immigration authorities on July 11. The Comprehensive Ranking System score is 505, the highest criterion for 2023 so far.

The announcement resulted from meeting the target of the skilled professionals' requirement to contribute to its economic growth. However, the draw differs from category-based selection regarding CRS score strategy and occupations.

In the All-Program draw, 800 candidates received the invitations based on their profiles and CRS score. In the Express Entry draw, IRCC has maintained a specific selection process. In every round of invitations, they assert:

• Type of round they will hold
• Decide the number of candidates they required
• Prepare the list of candidates of highest-ranking candidates from the pool who are eligible for the chosen round
• The most qualified candidates receive the invitations to apply for the permanent residence

Canada's Long-term Plan for their Economic Growth

Further, as per the Immigration Levels Plan of 2023 - 2025, IRCC plans to grant permanent residence visas to 82,880 eligible candidates through Express Entry by the end of this year. However, the target may rise to 109,020 in 2024 and 114,000 by 2025, respectively. Though the figure is not specific, it may vary as IRCC will work collaboratively to reduce the shortage in the labor market.

The new Express Entry categories are intended to assist applicants in meeting the standards and boost Canada's workforce.

Earlier, this month's round of invitations was also issued based on category and occupations targeted professional-based express entry along with the CRS and other criteria matched.

Canada is determined to fulfill the demand of their labor market with talented and skilled professionals from foreign nationals. The only criterion is that the candidate's profile should match their issued instructions, including education, working experience, skills, etc.  

There are no restrictions on place of residence or gender in Canada's invitational round, which is open to all qualified candidates worldwide. Before filing for the draw, you should evaluate your profile if you wish to take advantage.
