Shock! 4 consecutive Express Entry selections
Canada had 4 consecutive days of Express Entry draws, with a record-low passing score in the last draw.
From July 4 to July 7, Canada held a series of selections in the Express Entry system and invited 5,000 people to immigrate in just 4 days. By the way, just a week ago, on June 27 and 28, there were two more draws, and 4,800 people were invited. In total, 9,800 candidates can receive Canadian permanent residency. First, a little explanation for those who are still not well versed in immigration to Canada, and then to the selections.
Why am I talking specifically about Express Entry draws? Through Express Entry, Canadian federal immigration programs work. These are, you might say, the main programs. They allow you, first, to immigrate quickly, on average in 7 months, and second, to settle in any province, except Quebec, and the city of your choice. Because there are also programs in which you must prove that you intend to live in a particular region or city when applying.
Immigration through Express Entry
To enroll, you must qualify for one of three federal programs. You will be assessed on different factors and given points. Then Canada conducts an immigration draw with a certain score. If you score it, you are invited, if not, you wait for the next selections. We already have a detailed article about immigration through Express Entry.
The Express Entry draws used to be much less frequent: one drawing every 2 weeks. Now, as you can see, there have already been 4 draws in early July alone, and 2 more at the end of June. That is, the officials have taken Express Entry seriously and, apparently, will be actively inviting candidates through this system.
Selections
On July 4, there was a general draw for all professions. It invited 700 people with a passing score of 511. This selection is not really that interesting because there are few invitations and the passing score is very high.
