April 6th 2016 - Canadian Immigration authorities conducted the 8th round of invitations under Express Entry in 2016, inviting 954 applicants for permanent residence. The lowest Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score has remained at 470. It was the lowest number of invitations issued to-date, under the Express Entry system.
Express Entry is an immigration system implemented by Canadian immigration authorities ("CIC") on January 1, 2015 which manages skilled worker applications under Federal Economic programs. This includes the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Skilled Trades Program, the Canada Experience Class and the Provincial Nominee Program.
Immigration authorities recently confirmed stakeholders can expect to see more frequent draws and future CRS scores well below 500 this year, to enable Canadian immigration authorities to meet targeted annual immigration levels for 2016.
