The 29th Express Entry draw is out now on August 4. IRCC has issued a new PNP draw by inviting 512 new candidates. Only those scoring 760 could be able to be selected for the ITA (invitation to apply) for the permanent residency. Canada has so far invited 99,316 candidates through the Express Entry stream. Its target is to invite at least 108,00 through the EE route.
For a tie score, the candidates had to be in the pool before 5 March 2021. The selected candidates had to score only 160 because they have automatically achieved 600 points due to provincial nomination.
Travelling is open now for those having COPR
First of all, IRCC has taken and adapted all possible measures to reach the immigration quota target of this year. For example, the following are some of the steps which have proven it:
- Candidates of permanent residency programs having approved PR status will now be able to travel to Canada from 21 June 2021,
- Fully vaccinated tourists from all countries can enter September 7,
- Meanwhile 9 airports accepting international flights,
- Fully vaccinated U.S. tourists can enter Canada starting August 9,
- Lifting flight ban from the flights from Pakistan,
- Hotel quarantine policy ending August 9.
- Fully vaccinated children of Canadians, and other exempt travellers to have amended quarantine starting August 9,
Considering all measures taken by the Canadian government and IRCC, the draws of the Federal Skilled Worker Program and Federal Skilled Trades Program seem to be released in near future.
