June 2nd, 2016 - Canadian Immigration authorities completed the 12th round of invitations to Apply (ITA) under Express Entry in 2016 and 35th overall, inviting 762 applicants for permanent residence.
Required rank
The lowest Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score was 483, a slight decline from the previous draw. It was the 11th draw in 2016 under the Express Entry System where the lowest CRS score was under 500.
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

What this means for candidates
It is expected that the majority of applicants to be issued (ITA's) under Canada's Express Entry Immigration system in 2016 will require a CRS scores under 500 points, enabling a strong number of applicants to receive permanent admission to Canada without a job offer or nomination under a provincial immigration program. However, securing an approved offer of employment is highly recommended.
