The previous month turned out to be a historic one for Canada Express Entry. Many milestones were met and crossed.
Express Entry is for those looking to immigrate to Canada as skilled workers. While there are many routes that lead to Canadian immigration, Express Entry has come to be the most popular of them all.
Launched in 2015, Express Entry is the name given to the online system for accepting, ranking, and managing Canada PR applications. Express Entry is not a program as such. However, as an online system it is used for managing applications for 3 of the top immigration programs of Canada.
Programs that come under Canada Express Entry are -
Additionally, some immigration streams or pathways under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are also managed through Express Entry. PNP streams linked to Express Entry include - Ontario PNP’s Human Capital Priorities Stream, Alberta Express Entry, Saskatchewan Express Entry etc.
Altogether, 4 draws were held in the month with a total of 21,667 people receiving invitations to apply.
You can only submit a Canada PR visa application by Express Entry after you get an invitation to apply from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
