Express Entry: Canada extends invitations to 2,000 applicants for immigration.

ITAs are given to applicants with a minimum CRS score of 533. In the most recent Express Entry lottery, which was held on August 3, 2022, Canada welcomed 2,000 applicants to submit applications for permanent residency. One of the most well-known immigration routes in Canada for talented immigrants is Express Entry.

Candidates with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores of at least 533 were sent invitations. Candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) were eligible to be invited because there was no specific programmer listed for this draw.

This draw's minimum CRS requirement was nine points lower than the one that took place on July 20. In addition, 250 more applicants were invited in this draw than in the one before it, when 1,750 applicants were given an invitation to apply (ITA).

Since the start of all-program drawings on July 6, 5,250 Express Entry applicants have been issued ITAs. Since these drawings had been put on hold for more than 18 months, only individuals qualified for permanent residency under the CEC or the Provincial Nominee Program were invited (PNP).

Through Express Entry, Canada expects to accept 55,900 permanent residents in 2022; by the end of 2024, that number will have skyrocketed to 111,500. Holders of expired PGWPs can now apply for a new open work permit.

Numerous Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) holders have had their work permit status expire since there was a break in inviting Express Entry CEC candidates between September 2021 and July 2022.

They were unable to apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit while they waited for IRCC to conclude their application for permanent residence since they did not have CEC invitations.

It was previously announced by the IRCC that special measures will allow people with expired PGWPs to keep their open work permit status for an additional 18 months. This action will enable them to work while they wait for permanent residency while assisting them in the transition.

Due to limitations brought on by the epidemic, a lot of international students have been compelled to finish their studies online over the previous two years.

In response, the IRCC has declared that learning credentials for students who successfully completed Canadian educational programmers online between March 2020 and August 2022 will now be accepted as a component of their overall CRS score.

This implies that students may upload their online Express Entry profile and include their online education as part of their educational credentials.

This safeguard will only be temporary as pandemic restrictions are being relaxed globally. Normally, students would not be eligible for CRS points for educational qualifications if they completed 50% of their education degree through distant learning.

However, if you finished any portion of your programmer of study or training between March 2020 and August 2022 and received a Canadian degree, diploma, or certificate, you are now qualified to get points for a Canadian educational credential if you did so completely.

- through distance learning;
- from outside Canada; or
- through part-time studies.

It's possible that applicants who are already in the Express Entry pool have already gotten a letter from IRCC informing them that their online profile's education information needs to be updated.

The letter states that there are three new questions in the part on educational background that applicants must respond to in order to avoid getting a lower CRS score.

In order to obtain the certificate, the questions inquire as to how much in-person instruction, instruction in Canada, and full-time instruction the candidate accomplished.

To guarantee they kept their CRS score and continued to be eligible for the current draw, the IRCC recommended candidates to update their profiles by August 2 when the letter was made public.

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program all use Express Entry as their applicant management system (FSTP). Candidates for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) in the Express Entry pool are already qualified for at least one of these schemes.

The Comprehensive Ranking Method (CRS), a points-based system used by Express Entry, ranks candidate profiles. The highest-scoring applicants are given an Invitation to Apply (ITA), after which they can submit a permanent residency application.

An IRCC official evaluates the application after the candidate submits it before making a decision. In addition to requesting bio-metrics, the officer could schedule an interview or ask for other paperwork.

The candidate receives a Confirmation of Permanent Residence after being accepted (COPR). The last step is to finish the landing procedure and formally become a permanent resident of Canada.
