In the latest development in Canada’s immigration landscape, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently conducted its first Express Entry draw for the month, inviting 3,725 candidates to apply for permanent residency on October 10, 2023. To receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in this draw, candidates needed to have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 500. This CRS score represents a 4-point drop from the last all-program draw held on September 26, 2023, and is also the lowest cutoff score for all-program draws held since August 1, 2023.

The report revealed that there were a total of 24 Express Entry draws in 2022, resulting in 46,539 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) being issued. This marked a 59% decrease compared to the previous year, 2021, which had seen 114,431 ITAs issued. This decline is largely attributed to a pause in Express Entry draws for Federal High Skilled programs between September 2021 and July 2022. The report also highlighted that the majority of ITAs in 2022 were issued to candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and the Canadian Experience Class. Furthermore, candidates with occupations such as software engineers, designers, information systems specialists, computer systems developers, programmers, food service supervisors, and cooks were among the most common recipients of ITAs. Of the ITAs issued, over 30,000 went to residents of Canada, with India and Nigeria also receiving significant numbers of invitations. These recent developments underscore the evolving nature of Canada’s Express Entry system as it continues to adapt to the changing needs of the country’s labor market and economic landscape. As the IRCC strives to prioritize key attributes in the selection process, prospective immigrants are presented with new opportunities and pathways to make Canada their home.

ravinder kaur I and my family want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Devika, John and the team at Borders Law firm for assisting us with the PRTD application at a time when most processing was closed due to lockdowns. They also worked proactively with us to establish a good strategy with back up plans which gave us sufficient information and assurance. Very responsive and forthcoming with information. Proactive in processing but at the same time they put enough time in the application and the supporting details to have high quality of the application. As a result our application was processed in 1 go at a time when it was critical and sensitive time for the family. Thank you again.

Neha K Borders Law firm - Devika OMG where do I start from.... so I got her number from my CA who I have been getting my taxes filed from last ten years. I was not sure what will happen to my mom's files becuase I had already tried four times before and everytime there was something or the other that happened and my application was not accepted... Devika has been my good luck, an angel in my life and a miracle believe it or not. I wish I could give you the details about why it was so so so important for my mom to get this immigration but unfortunately I can't share my personal details but I can tell you all one thing, that Devika and her team not only helped me with my mom's immigration case but also helped me with her super visa extension and all other obstacles we faced. I had no idea that my file can get approved so fast. Today I feel like my dream of having my mom here permanently came true all because of Devika.She is very knowledgeable, super patient, went out of her way to do, spent extra hours assisting me and completing this file. Always understood and heard my issues, with patience. I don't know how many times I cried with her and she always gave me hope and strength to be patient and wait for the approval. Honestly I am very impressed how she adds human touch to her immigration cases and treats the families with so much love and always been very professional as well. Devika is the best, she has an awesome awesome team. I can go on and on and on about her. I always suggest my friends her name and tell them about her services.It feels so good when I give her number to people in need of a good immigration lawyer, because in my heart I know that Devika will be able to help them with their immigration very well.She is the best Thank you Devika for being a great lawyer,a great human being and an angel in my life.
