Aug 12, 2019 – Canada immigration authorities surpassed 50,000 Invitations to Apply for 2019, inviting 3,600 candidates in a new Express Entry draw.

The August 12 draw saw candidates require a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System score of 466 points, seven higher than the previous draw on July 24.

This was the third consecutive draw in which 3,600 ITAs have been issued.

Authorities have now invited 52,600 candidates in 2019, against a high-skilled immigration admission target of 81,400.

IRCC broke the record for annual Express Entry ITAs in 2018 with 89,800.

The draw saw the tie-breaking rule implemented on August 6, 2019 at 8.14am EST. If more than one candidate had the minimum CRS score, only those who submitted their Express Entry profiles before this date and time received invitations.

This was the 16th round of invitations under Express Entry in 2019 and 123rd overall.
