Do You Know Many Canada Immigration Express Entry Draws Have Taken Place?

Immigration and Chris Alexander, Canada’s current Citizenship and Immigration Minister had stated, prior to the opening of the Express Entry system, that, as the system will start accepting applications from January 1, 2015, those who dream of Canada immigration may expect the first draw to take place by the end of January itself.

True to the word, the first draw took place in January offering an ‘invitation to apply’ to 779 applicants. These selected candidates had done fairly well on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and had scored 886 points or more. Under the first draw, all the aspirants had either a valid job offer or else a provincial nomination.

Those who think Express Entry is an unprecedented act, the first draw is promising, and encourages those who wish to immigrate to the Maple Leaf Country, need to pull up their socks and create an online profile today. The first draw proves that the CIC is determined to meet the set target through Express Entry system, and those who are interested in immigration, can truly realize their dreams.

While some experts believe after a long wait the first draw was relatively small, the expected number was much higher, the CIC has stated the first draw was a mere test just to fix the glitches and problems. Perhaps, the second draw will be much bigger, and a larger number of applicants will receive an ‘invitation to apply’, and the frequency of the draw will also increase simultaneously.

Who are issued an invitation to apply?

The latest information for those who are looking for an opportunity for Canada immigration and have not yet received an ‘invitation to apply’, is that under the first Express Entry Draw those applicants have been given preference who have scored higher in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

The first draw has received mixed reactions as per the reports. The first draw is relatively good news for both applicants and employers. The system has gained the trust of the applicants as it is functioning well, and if processed systematically, candidates might just receive an ‘invitation to apply’ while Canadian employers are sure that there are and will be skilled workers coming to the Maple Leaf Country to help meet the demand of the labor market.

Quick summary for those who have been lured by the first draw

Express Entry is a completely electronic system. The first step includes creating an online profile and submitting an Expression of Interest (EoI). Those who successfully meet the criteria of any of the federal economic programmed will be placed in the Express Entry Pool and will be raked against each other in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Candidates, who had scored higher as per the CRS, will be issued an invitation to apply and will have no more than 60 days to claim the much awaited Permanent Residence. Applicants with a valid job offer or a provincial/territorial nomination are likely to score more. Still, those without either of the two may register themselves with the Canada’s Job Bank.
