Increase in the Number of Express Entry Candidates
Even though February 19 still stands out as the day that the largest Express Entry draws were held, the last three draws held in September consistently saw 4200 applicants invited. This is a difference of only 300 invitees, which is still a huge number. With such promising statistics, it could be the right time to get your documents ready and apply for the Canadian Express Entry visa!
Processing Of Express Entry Applications
When applying for Entry Express, you need to know that it could take up to six or eight months for your application to be processed. That means, If you decide to make an application this year, you will know if it was successful in 2021. The admission of permanent residents in Canada was adjusted down to 63 percent in July this year due to coronavirus restrictions and service disruptions. Nevertheless, you still stand a chance as the numbers are still promising.
Provincial Nominee Programs
Express Entry programs are not the only tickets to Canada. Some of the alternative pathways that could get you permanent residence include the Provincial Nominee Program. PNPs can help you get a permanent residence visa if you have a low Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score above 470. A provincial nomination could also boost your points by 600. If you hope to immigrate and have ties to a particular province, a base PNP could help you. You should, however, not be in the
Express Entry program. Some of the provinces holding draws for the PNP include the provinces of B, C., Ontario, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, PEI, and Saskatchewan.
