Canada held a major selection in Express Entry
Again, provincial program participants were invited.
On January 19, Canada sent 1,036 invitations to candidates registered in the Express Entry system. Luck smiled on participants in provincial programs.
The minimum passing score on the Comprehensive Ranking System was 745. This is 63 points lower than in the previous selection, which took place on January 5.
The points requirement may seem high, but that's because all invited participants have previously received provincial nominations. Express Entry candidates who receive a nomination are automatically awarded 600 points on top of their original score for age, education, language skills and other factors.
Express Entry is Canada's system for selecting immigrants through three federal economic class programs:
Under the 2021-2023 immigration plan, Canada aims to admit about 110,000 immigrants annually through Express Entry. For 2021, more than 114,000 invitations were issued. In 2022, more than 1,400 invitations have already been issued.
