Canada is back to small selections in the Express Entry system
In the Express Entry selection, which took place on July 22, only 557 candidates received invitations. Why did this happen?
On July 22, 2020, Canada sent Invitations to Apply to 557 Express Entry-registered candidates.
In this selection, only candidates with a provincial nomination received invitations.
The minimum passing score on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for this selection was 687.

The provincial nomination gives an additional 600 points to the total Express Entry score, which means that candidates invited in this selection had to score only 87 points for factors such as age, English proficiency, education and others.
Recall that despite the pandemic for 2020 and 2021, Canada has set high levels of immigration for Express Entry programs. The number of immigrants in the three federal high-skilled programs is expected to rise to 85,800 this year and 88,800 in 2021, and the Express Entry-flow of provincial immigration programs is expected to rise to 67,800 in 2020 and 71,300 in 2021.
