Introduction to Express Entry and the CRS
CIC News has received an internal IRCC memo outlining goals for the number of new citizens that Canada will welcome for the fiscal year 2022-2023. The memo, which was written for a senior official by the Operations, Planning and Performance division of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), recommends those IRCC process 285,000 decisions and 300,000 new citizens by March 31, 2023. A decision is a review of an application that is then accepted, denied, or marked as incomplete. According to the citizenship goal, 300,000 eligible applicants must take the oath of citizenship, either in person or via virtual. This is a significant increase over the fiscal year 2021-2022, and it even surpasses the pre-pandemic targets of 2019-2020, when 253,000 citizenship applications were processed. In 2021-2022, the IRCC achieved the goal of welc An Immigration Levels Plan is published annually by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and serves as a guide for how many immigrants will be permitted to enter Canada annually. It offers a breakdown of immigration from the next three years by economic class, family class, and humanitarian class programmes. It will display predictions for 2023, 2024, and 2025 this year. According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), which is Canada's primary immigration statute, the government is required to declare this by November 1 of each year. After the most recent federal election on September 20, 2021, the first Immigration Levels Plan was announced in February of 202 Immigration is the main factor contributing to Canada's population growth over the past three months, according to a Q2 2022 summary of Statistics Canada's most recent estimate of the country's population. The population projections for the second quarter (April to June) of 2022 were just released by Statistics Canada (StatCan). The study included a raw estimate of population growth as well as information about the sizeable impact that immigration had on Canada's population growth during this time. Q2 population estimates released by StatsCan On July 1st, 2022, the expected population of Canada was 38,929,902, an increase of 0.7% from the Q1 estimate announced on April 1st, 2022. Note: Estimate is based on 2016 Census counts and is modified for incompletely en Results of the Job Vacancy and Wage Survey report for the second quarter of 2022 have been made public by Statistics Canada. The overall rate of vacancies increased from the first quarter of 2022 by 4.7% and from the second quarter of 2021 by 42.3%. Overall, there are around one million open positions in Canada, which is an all-time high rate of 5.7%. The number of open positions that correspond to the overall labour demand is used to compute vacancies. The present record-high number of job openings is the result of the rise in labour demand outpacing growth in payroll employment since the first quarter of 2020 As part of its efforts to increase awareness of the advantages of immigration and all the ways it enhances Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has been promoting its immigration matters campaign since 2018. This programme, which is also known as #WelcomingWeek2022, is run by the IRCC to inform Canadians about the benefits of immigration as well as to inform prospective immigrants of these benefits. The programme includes neighbourhood gatherings and a website with immigration success stories, details on the immigration process, and ways Canadians may participate in immigration campaigns in their neighbourhoods. q

Sean Fraser, Canada's minister of immigration, bragged this week that the country had reached the 300,000 level earlier than in any previous year.

Since then, the number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued in each draw has grown by 250 each week, causing the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score needed things to go down. That being said, score cut-offs are still quite high. The latest Express Entry draw needed candidates to have at least a score of 533. In order to get a score this high, candidates would need to be young, highly educated with work experience, and perhaps even bilingual in order to get an ITA. It usually follows that the more Express Entry candidates IRCC Canada (IRCC) invites, the lower the CRS cut-off will be.

The statement came on the same day Saskatchewan’s immigration minister Jeremy Harrison attended a meeting in New Brunswick with the rest of Canada’s immigration ministers, including his federal counterpart, Sean Fraser.

IRCC made the commitment in April, and also pledged to get the Express Entry TAT time back to six months when the all-program draws resume. IRCC paused Express Entry invitations to apply (ITA) for permanent residence to Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) candidates in December 2020 amid the pandemic. It did the same for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates in September 2021. Preceding to the pandemic, IRCC usually considered all candidates in its bi-weekly Express Entry draws. This meant IRCC would invite the candidates with the highest Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores, irrespective of their program of eligibility.
