March 9th 2016- The Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted the 6th round of invitations under Express Entry in 2016 and 29th overall, inviting 1,013 applicants for permanent residence. The lowest Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score was 473, an increase from the previous draw.
Express Entry
Express Entry is a simplified, fast and efficient immigration selection system offering permanent residence to qualified skilled workers to Canada. It applies to the following economic class programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program
- Skilled Trades Program
- Canada Experience Class
- Provincial Nominee Program
Stakeholders expect to see future CRS scores well below 500 this year to enable Canadian immigration authorities to meet targeted annual immigration levels for 2016.
