Canada Express Entry 2020 Annual Report Released

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released the Canada Express Entry Yead-End Report 2020 on December 13. The Annual report on Express Entry determines who got to immigrate to Canada through Express Entry. It gives information about the type of occupation, destination, and source of residence of newly obtained permanent residents (PR).

The 2020 Year-End Report also includes the analysis of the pandemic on Canada’s major economic-class immigration application system. Usually, IRCC releases Canada Express Entry annual reports in the months of summer. The delay in releasing the report is understood as the department is still mitigating the effects of the pandemic.

A departure from the previous Canada Express Entry draws is noticed. IRCC says 42% of invitations in 2020 went to candidates who had Canadian education, up from 28% in 2019. So, should you plan your higher studies in Canada to easily qualify for Canada PR?

Get in touch with our expert consultants and continue to read further.

U.A.E. Among Top Countries of Residence For Canada Express Entry Invitations

IRCC innovated the process of Canada Express Entry PR invitees by targeting only those candidates who were eligible for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). It is because such candidates are more likely to be physically located in Canada. Also because they are less likely to be impacted by public health measures.

As a direct result, the proportion of Express Entry candidates invited to apply from inside Canada grew from 47% overall in 2019 to 63% overall in 2020.

The top six countries of residence for invitations remained the same as previous years:

Canada,
India,
U.S.,
Nigeria,
U.A.E., and
Pakistan.

Lebanon made the top 10 list for the first time since the Canada Express Entry system was created in 2015.

Canada in the top significances more temporary residence gets preferred for Canada PR in due course of time. Any interested immigration aspirants can plan their immigration to Canada by first obtaining a study permit or work permit and gaining Canadian experience. Based on this experience, they can qualify to apply for PR through Canada Express Entry.

Nearly two-thirds of principal applicants who applied through Express Entry in 2020 named Ontario as their province of destination.

Compared to 2019, the number of principal applicants who intended to move to Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and New Brunswick also increased in 2020.

About 51% Canada Express Entry Applications Completed Within 6 Months

Canada issued a record number of invitations to Express Entry candidates in 2020. In 2020, IRCC issued more than 107,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs), compared to 2019 when IRCC issued 85,300 ITAs for Canada PR.

But the irony is that the actual number of new PRs brought in through Canada Express Entry dropped to a three-year low. Out of the ITAs issued in 2020, only 63,923 Express Entry applicants and their family members got permanent residence.

In normal circumstances, Canada ends up admitting more PRs than the total ITAs. This is because one Canada Express Entry application can contain the principal applicant and their family members. This explains why 109,601 new permanent residents got admitted in 2019.

IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of Express Entry applications within six months. The average processing time was nine months, which is one month slower than in 2019.

IRCC adds that about 51% of applications in 2020 were completed within the six-month standard.

Processing Time for Canada Express Entry Applications in months – Year-wise Data
Express Entry Program	2018	2019	2020
Canada Experience Class (CEC)	5	7	8
Federal Skilled Workers	6	9	12
Provincial/Territorial Nominees	6	9	11

More Canada Express Entry Invitees in Tech Occupations

Following the trend, occupations in Information Technology, and Business and Financial Services continues to dominate the Canada Express Entry invitees. However, 2020 Express Entry draws also invited more Food Service Supervisors and Administrative Assistants to apply for Canada PR.

Canada is also reshaping its immigration policies to bring in gender equality. Both genders applied most often under the CEC. The difference between men and women applicants was more pronounced under the FSTP and least pronounced under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).

Statistically, the proportion of women in the Express Entry pool grew to 43% in 2020 compared to 41% in 2019. However, a slightly higher proportion of men than women submitted applications as principal applicants in 2020.

What We Know So Far About Canada Family Sponsorship Visa in 2022

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are yet to furnish complete details about the Canada family sponsorship visa. However, sources have confirmed that Canada is looking to welcome some 23,500 immigrants under the PGP in 2022.

PGP in Canada is a family immigration program to reunite parents or grandparents of foreign-born permanent residents or acquired Canadian citizens.

During the pandemic, IRCC held Canada family sponsorship lotteries in the autumns of 2020 and 2021. In recent years, IRCC has stuck to a lottery system whereby it has randomly selected sponsors. Such sponsors submitted the expression of interest forms on the IRCC website.

Prior to the pandemic, IRCC was exploring other ways to manage the PGP. as the demand to sponsor parents and grandparents far exceeds the number of spots.

For 2020 and 2021, IRCC received some 200,000 expressions of interest forms for family sponsorship. The department is now processing 40,000 applications under the 2020 and 2021 PGP intakes.

It remains to be seen when IRCC will announce the launch of the PGP 2022 and its intake format.

About the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) Canada Family Sponsorship Visa 2022

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their parents and grandparents to immigrate to Canada. Parents and grandparents who are approved under this program may obtain permanent residency. Further, doors to apply for Canadian citizenship will also open.

To become a sponsor under PGP, applicants must fulfil the following conditions:

be 18 years of age or older,
be Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or status First Nations, and
have the means to support the family member they are sponsoring.

IRCC will process PGP applications in between 20-24 months, even in 2022.

Additionally, IRCC will assess a Sponsor’s Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) to ascertain that they have sufficient income to support all family members for whom they will be financially responsible, including themselves, once they become sponsors.

A signed undertaking for the period of up to 20 years will be required from interested sponsors. This undertaking sets out how long the sponsor will be financially responsible for the family members they are sponsoring from the time they become permanent residents of Canada.

Criteria for becoming a successful sponsor may slightly vary in Quebec.

Other Canada Family Sponsorship Visa Options

The Super Visa is another significant option to consider for family reunification in Canada. The Super Visa allows your parents and grandparents to enter Canada multiple times over a 10 year period.

Immigration to Canada is also possible with family members such as spouse and dependent children. Read our blog on guide to spousal immigration to Canada from the UAE to learn more.

The leading political party in the government is not obligated to make any changes based on these studies. The committee is only to make informed choices.

Canada Express Entry: Biggest PNP Draw Ever for PR

Yet another Canada Express Entry draw targets PNP-only immigration candidates to apply for Canada PR. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its seventh PNP-specific Canada Express Entry draw on December 10. It targeted only domestic temporary workers or skilled foreign workers with prior provincial nominations.

The 24th PNP-specific Canada Express Entry draw this year resulted in 1,032 invitations to apply for Canada PR. IRCC also lowered the Express Entry cut-off score to less than 700 points, only the second time this year.

Canada Express Entry draws have already resulted in 113,685 invitations to apply for Canada PR in 2021.

Express Entry draws for Canada PR reinvented itself right after the pandemic. IRCC is focussing on inviting temporary residents to apply for Canada PR. Such candidates either qualified under Canada Experience Class or under any one of the Provincial Nominee Programs.

All the invited candidates in Canada Express Entry PNP-draw have demonstrated their connection to a province or territory. It is through familial ties, work experience, or study experience in that province or territory. In order to qualify for the CEC program, temporary skilled workers or recent international graduates must have had at least one year of work experience in Canada.

History of Canada Express Entry Draws

Canada Express Entry has held only 38 PNP-only draws since its launch in 2015.

Generally, the draw size is limited to less than a thousand invitations to apply for Canada PR. However, this draw became an exception.

OVERVIEW OF 211th EXPRESS ENTRY DRAWS
Biggest Draw Size	1,032 invitations to apply for Canada PR. This is the biggest draw in the history of Canada Express Entry PNP-only draws.
Lower Express Entry Cut-off	The minimum CRS score required was 698. Adding 600 points to their base human capital score, candidates effectively required only 98 points to qualify.
Tie-break rule applied?	IRCC applies the tie-break rule to avoid disputes in the rankings. This is particularly helpful in cases where two or more candidates end up with the same CRS score. No tie-break rule was applied.

Off-late, IRCC is giving undue preference to PNP candidates. It is aiming to support and realize the immigration goals of the provinces and territories that otherwise would have failed.

Immigration aspirants choose Canada because of its direct permanent residence pathway. A PR invitation through the provincial nomination route is not a direct pathway, however, will secure your chances of Canada PR. It is through the addition of 600 points for provincial nomination towards their Express Entry profile CRS score.

Apply for Canada PR with Provincial Nomination

Any prospective candidate who seeks to obtain permanent residence in Canada must register on Canada Express Entry online portal.

All the registered profiles are then assessed and ranked based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Such profiles are evaluated on a total of 1200 points. Their human capital like

age,
education,
work experience outside Canada,
language proficiency in English/French,
spouse adaptability,
Canadian study experience, etc. are the metrics for evaluation purposes.

Pavithra is a working health professional with more than 6 years of experience. She entered the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of just 150 points. She had also submitted her profile to the Canadian province of Manitoba.

Also, Pavithra never worked or studied in Canada.

Pavithra was soon invited to apply for a provincial nomination. This made her CRS score rise to 750. This is sufficient to receive ITA in this Express Entry draw.

It is also being discussed that IRCC is looking to clear previous Express Entry backlogs. This is being expedited to include fresh Canada PR applications under FSWP and CEC programs.

However, experts are of the view that the immigration levels in Canada will only increase in the coming years. Canada is aiming to admit more than 110,500 Express Entry candidates in 2022.

Canadian City Ranked Top for Career Oriented Women, Benefits of Canada Immigration Widens

Bloomberg, a reputed business publication, recently released its ranking of world business cities. The analysis judged the top 15 business cities for the quality of life it offers to women pursuing their careers. Adding to the benefits of Canada immigration is the recognition of Toronto’s conducive business environment for career women. The analysis report ranked the capital city of Ontario province number one. It assessed the city on the quality of life metrics for women pursuing their careers.

The analysis surveyed over 3,000 career-oriented women aged between 18 to 60 years. It asked questions relating to broader areas like safety, mobility, maternity, equality, and wealth.

Toronto came out on top, followed by other global cities like Sydney, Singapore, Paris, and London. This analysis is important for valuable insights into Canadian immigration and its push for gender equality.

Benefits of Canada Immigration now include Gender Equality

Direct PR pathway, favourable policies, and multiculturalism remain to be the marketing words for Canadian immigration. A new criterion is now added to the benefits of Canada immigration. Toronto ranked highly on equality, maternity, and wealth.

For career women like Lara Zink, gender equity is becoming an increasing imperative. “I had a 20-plus-year career in capital markets at one of Canada’s Big Five banks while raising two children as a single mom, which was both challenging and rewarding,” she says.

She remarks, “Today most women working in finance in Toronto take up to 12 months maternity leave, and many men are now taking advantage of parental leave policies, too. It goes a long way in reducing the stigma attached to maternity leave for women.”

Career Prospects for Immigrant Women in Canada

The Canadian immigration policy is titled towards transitioning economic-class immigrants to permanent residents.

Canada meets the labor demand gap by targeting foreign skilled workers with at least one year of prior work experience. The country has the highest retention rate of international students after graduation. As a result, most immigrants arrive in Canada during their prime working years.

This shows that Immigrant women have equal chances to climb the socio-economic ladder in Canada as their male counterparts. To support it, Canada’s federal and provincial governments are pursuing a variety of initiatives for newcomer women’s integration into the job market.

For instance, the announcement of the affordable daycare program across Canada. As a consequence, the participation rate of immigrant women in the Canadian labor force will now increase. In addition to it, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have been providing financial assistance. It targets a number of pilot programs aimed at supporting racialized newcomer women.

Even where a female is a spouse with a male principal applicant, research suggests they have similar human capital characteristics. It includes similar age, education, language skills, and work experience. Such women applicants are eligible to apply for an Open Work Permit until their permanent residency status is under process.

Canadian demography is ageing and the country suffers from a low population growth rate. As a result, Canada is more dependent on immigration than ever. In support of this, Canada immigration policies foster social integration and retention of immigrant families. This is crucial for opening more doors for immigrant women in Canada.

Plan your Canada Immigration Today!

The benefits of Canada Immigration are one too many. The Canadian government is carrying out an ambitious plan to increase immigration levels. It aims at welcoming more than 401,000 each year by 2023.

In fact, the new Immigration Levels Plan 2022-2024 will be released by February 2022. The annual immigration target is expected to only increase.

If you’re planning for high-paying jobs or good quality of life, Canada must be on your top priority list. Get in touch with our expert consultants to know your career prospects in Canada.

CanApprove is now recognized and authorized by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) to offer immigration-related services to interested clients.

Latest British Columbia PNP Draw Issues 318 Invitations to Apply for Canada Immigration

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program held a new set of provincial nomination draws on December 07. As a result, 318 new invitations to apply for Canada immigration were issued.

The eligible candidates include foreign workers and international students. They are already registered under the Skills Immigration (SI) and Express Entry BC (EEBC) provincial nominee program streams.

The provincial nominee program of British Columbia held two draws simultaneously on December 07: one general draw and another occupation-specific draw. This has been in practice since February this year.

The first general draw issued a total of 267 invitations to apply for Canada immigration. Candidates with the minimum provincial scores between 71 and 100 points only received invitations. They include Skilled Workers, recent International Graduates or Entry Level and Semi-Skilled workers.

Active profiles in the federal Express Entry pool also received invitations to apply for Canada immigration under this Provincial Nominee Program draw.

The second specialist provincial draws targeted two in-demand occupations:

retail and wholesale trade managers (NOC 0621), and
restaurant and food service managers (NOC 0631)

About 51 invitees are eligible to apply for Canada immigration with scores of 103 and above.

The provincial nominee program’s Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) manages applications under the two skilled immigration programs. Registration and profile assessment based on education, work experience, and language skills form the core selection criteria.

Permanent Residency in Canada through Provincial Nominee Program

The “two-step migration” process is now the most preferable pathway for economic-class immigrants to apply for Canada immigration.

Eligible candidates may qualify for a temporary resident visa and gain work experience in Canada. Based on their Canadian work experience, they may apply for permanent residence either through the provincial nominee program or Canada Experience Class (CEC).

Recent statistics show that the share of those admitted within the provincial nominee program is at 46% and the share of those landing via CEC increased from 8% to 19%, since 2015.

The provincial nomination from British Columbia is valid for approximately six months from the date of confirmation.

During this time period, you can apply with IRCC under the Provincial Nominee Class and receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence through fortnightly Express Entry nomination draws. You may receive an additional 600 points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) of the Express Entry system.

In fact, the recent Express Entry draws targeted about 613 candidates with prior provincial nominations. All the invites had a minimum CRS score of 737. It meant that they required only 137 points to score on CRS to qualify. The remaining 600 points will be added automatically for receiving provincial nominations.

British Columbia has issued over 11,000 invitations to apply for Canada immigration. The province is only expectingto increase its intake levels next year.
