The passing score in Express Entry has been reduced again
Canada once again pleases candidates with low scores.
On July 22, Canada sent 4,500 invitations to candidates registered with Express Entry and participating in the immigration program for specialists with experience in Canada.
For the past selection, the minimum passing score on the complex ranking system was 357. This is 12 points lower than in the previous selection, which took place on July 8. The passing score in the last draw was the lowest for the year, not counting the record selection, in which all candidates from the participant pool were invited.
The draw among professionals with Canadian experience took place the day after Express Entry selection for provincial immigration program participants.
Under a new immigration plan for 2021-2023, Canada aims to admit about 110,000 immigrants annually through Express Entry. For 2021, about 99,000 invitations have already been issued.
Recent selections show that Canada continues to give priority to immigration applicants who are already in the country or who are nominated by the provinces, while travel restrictions continue to apply.
To maximize your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for Express Entry selection, we recommend keeping an eye on history of passing scores and number of invitations.
