The Canadian federal government has tripled the number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) it issues in periodic draws, under the Express Entry System, since August 2016.
Over the last three months, the numbers for each draw have sharply risen from 750 on August 24th to 2,427 in the most recent draw conducted on November 16th. During this period, more than 10,000 invitations have been issued.
It is not known whether the rise will continue, especially given the recent changes made to how Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) points are awarded.
Before August 24, the trend was for the draw to issue in the region of 750 ITAs, a drop from the beginning of the year when numbers averaged more than 1,000.
The increase started with the September 7 draw, when 1,000 ITAs were issued, and has not stopped since, with the next five draws issuing the following numbers of ITAs: 1,288, 1,518, 1,804, 2080, 2,427.
