EXPRESS ENTRY RESULTS | JUNE 2019

Updated: May 6, 2020

The Government of Canada held two Express Entry draws in the month of June. On June 12th, 2019, 3,350 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) and the cut-off score was 465 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points.


The second draw was held on June 26th, 2019 and saw 3,350 ITAs issued with a cut-off score of 462 CRS points. These draws show an 8-point drop in the CRS cut-off score, which peaked at 470 points in May 2019. Hopefully, this marks the start of a steady decline in the cut-off score for 2019.


At this point in 2019, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued a total of 41,800 ITAs to Express Entry applicants.

EXPRESS ENTRY 2019 QUARTERLY REPORT

This year is expected to be an even bigger year for the Express Entry program, with admissions targets for the upcoming years amounting to 350,000 by 2021.



EXPRESS ENTRY TARGET FOR 2019

According to Canada’s new immigration plan, almost a quarter of those coming to Canada will do so through one of the three economic immigration classes managed by the Express Entry system. Economic immigration is one of the largest targets as a whole. As such, some key streams of entry are through the Provincial Nominee Program and include the Federal Skilled Worker Class, the Federal Skilled Trades Class, and the Business Stream. Canada aims to admit 330,800 immigrants in 2019.


EXPRESS ENTRY PROGRAM

Immigration Canada uses a federal system, referred to as Express Entry, to manage applications for permanent residency from individuals in these programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, or the Canadian Experience Class. The Government of Canada holds an average of two to three Express Entry draws per month.


EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE

Candidates must create an Express Entry profile online where they enter information about their skills, education, language ability, work experience, and more. Candidates are then assigned a CRS score out of 1200 points. Every two to three weeks, the Canadian government will conduct an Express Entry draw where applicants with the highest CRS score receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. Those who are extended an ITA have 90 days to complete an application.

THE COMPREHENSIVE RANKING SYSTEM

Prospective immigrants are then ranked in a point system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Points are given for each piece of information in your Express Entry profile. Some different factors that play into your CRS score include your age, level of education, English and French language proficiency, work experience, and connections to Canada (e.g. education, work experience, siblings, etc.). The number of points allotted for each factor differs if you have a spouse or common-law partner or not.
