3900 ITAs Issued to ISW in Latest Express Entry Draw

This is to inform that the Canadian government issued largest Express Entry draw invitations to 3,900 applicants on September 5, 2018 to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

This draw invited applicants with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System Score (CRS) 440- fourth all program draw in 2018.

The tie-break up rule was used to invite the applicants in this draw of Express Entry. The tie-break up date and time was April 29, 2018, at 14:28:34 UTC. This implies that all candidates who have submitted their application before tie-up date and time having CRS 440 and above will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in this invitation round.

The government of Canada issued 3900 invitations surpassing its previous trend of inviting 3,750 applicants in the previous six draws held since June 13, 2018.

In this year, IRCC has issued a specific number of ITAs over a series of draws and has considerably increased the number of ITAs from 250 or 500. The draw size in the beginning of 2018 was 2,750 and has now come to 3,900 ITAs.

The constant pace of the ITAs could be the prime reason of CRS score 440 being constant and not going higher. Larger draw sizes and more regular draws can also have the effect of lowering CRS score. 

Till now 18 draws have been conducted for the year 2018 in which total of 58,600 ITAs have been issued, this is ahead of the 57,751 ITAs issued over the first 18 draws of 2017. Though, IRCC is still lagging behind with 5,177 ITAs as it issued 63,777 ITAs in September, 2017. 

The ITAs were issued to 86,023 applicants in the year 2017. As Canada is witnessing more number of migrants in 2018 and same has been expected in 2019 making it quite possible to exceed the number of ITAs issued in 2017. Visit https://bit.ly/2NP7Vhu Source Link for more details. 

CIC Invites 3750 FSW Workers With 441 CRS Score

In the latest express Entry round conducted on July 25, 2018. 3750 applicants were invited to apply with a Comprehensive Ranking System Score of 441. 

The current CRS score is one point lower than the last invitation round score of 442 conducted on July 11, 2018. The reason behind score deduction could be attributed to the back- to-back draws of 3,750 ITS in a 14-day period. 

The tie-break up rule was applied for this draw that means all the candidates with a CRS score of 441 and above who submitted their profile before December 31, 2017 at 12:14:21 UTC will receive an ITA in this invitation round. 

 

This is a fourth consecutive draw issued to 3750 applicants and brings the total number of invitations issued to 7500 applicants in July 2018. This is by far the largest number of ITAs issued in a month since the introduction of Express Entry in 2015 and follows a record-setting month of June, which also saw 7500 ITAs issued. 

However, the number of invitations will increase or decrease is yet to be seen, if IRCC does resort to larger draws or more frequent draws, there is strong possibility of CRS falling down. 

Draw size number of 3750 is now well-established trend in 2018 that has seen draw sizes gradually increased over the course of the year. Source Link
