What is Express Entry?
Express Entry is a point-based system managed by IRCC that manages applications from skilled workers seeking permanent residency in Canada. Candidates are ranked within the pool based on their CRS score, which considers factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and skill transferability. Higher CRS scores generally lead to a higher chance of receiving an ITA.
Significance of the Express Entry Draw:
This draw demonstrates Canada's continued commitment to welcoming skilled workers to contribute to the country's economic growth and address labor shortages in various sectors. The number of invitations issued indicates a moderate demand for skilled workers in the current Express Entry pool.
