Third target selection Express Entry in a row
For agricultural workers.
This week saw the fourth immigration draw in the Express Entry system. Like the last two, it is intended for a special category of applicants, this time for candidates with experience in the agriculture and agri-food industry. A total of 400 invitations were sent out on December 21.
The passing score for successful participants of this selection was only 386 points, which is quite low even in comparison with other target selections. However, the drawing of invitations among agricultural workers was held for only the second time, and the first time — September 28 — the passing score was even lower.
Points in the Comprehensive Ranking System are awarded for age, work experience, language skills, education, having a job offer in Canada, ability to adapt to the country, and so on.
