Ministerial Instructions respecting invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system – April 17, 2019
No program specified
Number of invitations issued: 3,350
Rank required to be invited to apply: 3,350th or above
Date and time of round: April 17, 2019 at 15:26:33 UTC
CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 451
Tie-breaking rule: April 2, 2019 at 15:01:49 UTC
The Express Entry system manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada’s main federal economic immigration programs — Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.
Eligible candidates for these categories are entered into the Express Entry pool and assigned a ranking score based on factors such as age, education, work experience and proficiency in English or French.
Canada has now issued a total of 27,900 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to Express Entry candidates in 2019.
In 2018 — a year that saw Canada set the current Express Entry ITA record of 89,800 — a total of 21,000 ITAs had been issued by April 17.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has higher admissions targets for its three Federal High Skilled classes in 2019 and 2020, so it is possible that the 2019 ITA total will surpass 2018’s record.
IRCC used its tie-break rule in the April 17, with the time and date set at 15:01:49 UTC on April 2, 2019. This means that all candidates with a CRS score above 451, as well as those candidates with scores of 451 who entered their profile in the Express Entry pool before this date and time, received an ITA in this invitation round.
