Canadian Permanent
Residency in 2019
The
government of Canada has invited 85,300 candidates from all over the world to
apply for the Canadian Permanent Residency in 2019 . Compared to previous
year's 89,800 Invitations to Apply (ITAs), it was low this year. Reports
released by Canadian Immigration Newsletter suggests that Canada’s Express
Entry system took both the candidates and observers through unexpected twists
and turns in 2019.
Permanent Residency Invitations issued in 2019
The Canada’s federal immigration ministry, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has deviated from it's usual pattern of 2018 and there has been an increase in draw sizes from 2,750 to 3,900 ITAs every two to three months, following a development in 2019, according to the Canadian Immigration newsletter.
• Looking at Canada’s higher 2019 admissions target, it was quite obvious that the number of Express Entry candidates invited in 2019 would break the recorded high of 89,800 ITAs issued in 2018. Nevertheless, through 2019, the IRCC has held 26 draws from the Express Entry pool.
• The last three months of 2019 saw fluctuations in the draw size, as it touched 3,900 ITAs in October then decreased to 3,600 in November and finished the year with two December invitation courses of 3,200 ITAs each.
• One justification behind the 2019 statistics falling short could be the possibility that the IRCC had to hold the permanent residence applications filed through the Express Entry system due to it's processing standard of 6 months.
Minimum cut-off score jumped
Compared to the record low minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 413 in 2017, the score for 2019 was higher. This could be because there were a series of smaller draw sizes throughout the year and that the IRCC gave more than the usual two weeks elapse between draws on four occasions.
2019 saw the cut-off score range from a low of 438 on January 30 to a high of 475 on October 30, through the total 26 draws in the year. The huge increase in number of Express Entry candidates who qualify for provincial nominations and the 600 additional CRS points they bag could be another reason behind the higher minimum required CRS scores in 2019.
A new admission target in 2020
2020 is all set to witness Canada’s multi-year immigration levels plan which is focussed on permanent residents admitted through the three Express Entry-managed immigration programs to be increased to 85,800.
This residents' admission through three Federal High-Skilled program is expected to hike from 85,800 in 2020 and 88,800 in 2021.
Besides, the target for Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program is expected to rise to 67,800 in 2020 and 71,300 in 2021.
The Trudeau-led Liberal Party, in 2017 had introduced multi-year immigration targets that would see total admissions of new permanent residents to Canada reach 350,000 in 2021. The re-election of these liberals would now imply chances for the targets to rise again in 2022 and 2023.
The mandate letter issued to Marco Mendicino, Canada’s new immigration minister, clearly states an impending need for renewed call for “modest and responsible” rise in Canada’s immigration levels over the coming years.
