IMPACT – MEDIUM
Canada conducted its 12th Express Entry draw of the year Wednesday, issuing 3,750 invitations to apply for permanent residency. The lowest qualifying Comprehensive Ranking System score was 451.
The number of invitations increased over recent draws, although the minimum qualifying score was the highest since March.
*Draw limited to two programs
BAL Analysis: The high number of invitations and low qualifying scores are good news for Express Entry candidates. Canada continues to issue invitations for permanent residency at a rate outpacing previous years, consistent with its projections to accept more than 300,000 new immigrants per year in the next three years.
