Express Entry's new selection passed with a minimum score for 2021
Canada is again inviting candidates with experience in the country.
On May 20, Canada sent 1,842 invitations to candidates registered with Express Entry and who participated in the immigration program for specialists with experience in Canada (Canadian Experience Class).
For the past selection, the minimum passing score on the Complex Ranking System was 397. This is 4 points lower than the previous selection for professionals with Canadian experience, which took place on May 13, 2021.
The new draw shows that Canada continues to prioritize immigration applicants who are already in the country, while travel restrictions continue to apply.
Under a new immigration plan for 2021-2023, Canada aims to admit about 110,000 immigrants annually through Express Entry. The country approached that mark last year, inviting a record number of candidates to immigrate through Express Entry and issuing a total of 107,350 invitations to permanent residence. The Government of Canada continues to emphasize that attracting skilled immigrants during and after the COVID-19 pandemic will remain vital to support a strong Canadian economy.
