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.
A total of 57,700 invitations for Express Entry selections have been sent since the beginning of the year.
The IRCC used the tie-break rule in the July 23 selection. This means that all candidates with a CRS score of 445 or higher who received an ITA in this selection published their profiles in the Express Entry system by 15:16:55 UTC on July 12, 2020.
Below are hypothetical examples of candidates who would have received an ITA in the July 23 selection:
