Canada, IRCC again invited 7000 applications in surprise 8th Express Entry draw In the most recent development, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued another invitation to apply (ITAs) to 7,000 individuals in an unexpected all-program draw, with a minimum CRS score of 484. Instead of waiting a week between Express Entry, IRCC issued 7,000 invites for the second straight draw. Candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class are considered in all-program draws (CEC). Earlier, a few days back, a record number of candidates were invited to the March 15 all-program draw, which comprised 7,000 applications, and those individuals had a minimum CRS score of 490. On January 18, IRCC invited 5,500 applicants. Previously, Canada's Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced a work permit extension of up to 18 months for holders of Post-Graduate Work Permits (PGWP). Post-graduation workers with expired work permits may apply for an extension of their Open Work Permit until April 6, 2023. For those whose PGWP expires in 2023, the extension will be available.
Also eligible are individuals whose PGWPs expired in 2022 and who submitted an application for an Open Work Permit extension with the IRCC last year. Candidates can fill out an application for the extension on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website starting on April 6. After applying for an extension, applicants will receive an interim work permit authorization via email, which they can present to employers to continue working legally in Canada.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 7000 Express Entry candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 490 to become permanent residents. Since January 18, this is the first all-program draw. Candidates from all three Express Entry programs are considered in an all-program draw: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The number of ITAs in this draw exceeds the previous record of 5,500 candidates invited in the January 18 all-program draw. This draw deviates from a trend of program-specific draws that have occurred during the last two months. Prior to 2023, all Express Entry draws were all-program draws that welcomed over 1,000 candidates each time and expanded as the minimum CRS score lowered. The amount of assistance for immigrants in Canada is unparalleled in the world. Canada's population will reach 100 million by 2100. They claim that immigration is a major element in reaching this milestone, and the new analysis claims that Canada has an edge over other countries owing to Canadians' overwhelming support for immigration.
From the late 1990s, support for immigration in Canada has increased consistently, with no notable decreases owing to the global crisis in 2008 or the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. According to the research, support has risen along with "development in Canadians' multicultural identity," with 64% of Canadians saying that diversity is a sign of Canada's identity. This is a significant increase over data collected 25 years ago when only around 40% Canadian agreed. Since approximately a quarter of Canada's overall population is made up of immigrants is one of the key reasons for support. According to the 2021 census, 1.3 million new permanent residents arrived in Canada between 2016 and 2021, and Statistics Canada predicts that the country's immigrant population will continue to grow, reaching 34% by 2041. |
