Latest EE Draw Analysis
After this latest draw, now the IRCC has invited total 41,059 candidates to apply for Canadian PR this year through the federal EE system. The IRCC has broken the trend of last three EE draws and invited 3,500 candidates this time around, which is still a fairly good number. Moreover, the CRS score has also been marginally increased, i.e. by just 5 points in this latest EE Draw.
This year, the IRCC has annual immigration target to invite 82,880 candidates. In fact, this target may exceed by the end of the year as happened on previous few occasions. With the rise in number of ITAs the CRS score or CUT OFF is likely to reduce in the months to come.
