Canada Express Entry Process 2021
Stanberry Educity | April 10, 2021
If you plan to immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry system, you’ll become a permanent resident of Canada. In 2021, Canada is welcoming at least 401,000 new immigrants annually until 2023. On February 13th, 2021, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held the largest draw in history, with the lowest CRS cut-off requirement. It signals Canada’s intent to meet the immigrant intake target despite the ongoing pandemic. More than one-third of these newcomers will migrate through the Express Entry System – Canada’s most popular and streamlined skilled immigration pathway.
With this latest draw, the number of ITAs issued by February 13th is now triple what it was at the same point in 2020. In 2021, Canada will be welcoming 108,500 immigrants through the three federal Express Entry streams – namely, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (for skilled workers living outside Canada), the Canadian Experience Class (for workers with Canadian work experience), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (for people involved in trade occupations).
Canada Express Entry is a federal system of immigration, those who receive an invitation to apply through express entry can directly apply for Canada permanent residence under the program. And once you get a Canada Express Entry visa, you can settle anywhere in Canada.
Express Entry system can help one win a Canadian PR visa within just six months or less. The period starts from the date of submitting the application. Before the introduction of the Express Entry system, when the application system was paper-based, there were a lot of obstacles that often delayed the processing. Documents used to get lost or misplaced in transition. The wait times for physical mail to arrive also used to delay the application processing. In the coming few years, Canada is planning to welcome more immigrants to the country. As a result, the IRCC may reduce the minimum CRS score required to be selected in the Express Entry draws. The required score is expected to go down further in the coming years as Canada planning to bring thousands more skilled immigrants to the country.
