The Results of Express Entry Draw #102 - Green Light Canada

15 Oct 2018

Today, on October 15, 2018, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held a new draw of candidates from the Express Entry system. IRCC again issued 3900 Invitations to Apply (ITA) to the candidates whose Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score was 440 CRS or higher. This round’s lowest CRS is 5 points lower than in the round #101.

In total this year, Canada sent 70,300 ITAs via the Express Entry system. This figure has almost reached the goal announced at the beginning of the year – to invite 74,900 immigrants in 2018. If Canada issues another 3900 ITAs in the next round, this goal will be fulfilled. Also, it is likely that the government will exceed its own quota. According to Statistics Canada, the population of Canada increased by 168,687 people in the second quarter of 2018 and 82% of this number are immigrants. Canada’s goal in 2019 is to invite 81400 immigrants via Express Entry.

Express Entry is an online selection system for Canadian immigration, designed to select skilled workers for immigration to Canada. Foreign nationals can immigrate through one of the Federal programs such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class, or through the Provincial Nominee Programs.

The Express Entry system selects candidates based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score for their age, education, work experience, and knowledge of the Canadian official languages.
