            Canada Express Entry Quarterly Review: Another Strong 3 Months As Record 2017 Continues


            Last Updated on enero 24, 2019

            Canada Express Entry Quarterly Review: Another Strong 3 Months As Record 2017 ContinuesOctober 2, 2017 – The third quarter of 2017 saw Canada’s Express Entry System move down a gear after the record-breaking numbers recorded in the first two quarters of the year.

            July, August and September saw fewer Invitations to Apply (18,135) than the other two quarters of 2017, with slightly higher minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores.

            However, the numbers still exceeded all quarterly figures for both 2015 and 2016, making it the third most prolific quarter in Express Entry history.

            The quarter saw three draws inviting in excess of 3,000 candidates, which was unheard of before 2017 began. The minimum CRS scores were also consistently below 450, showing that although figures did not reach the extremities of the previous quarter, the numbers remained solid.

            How to Gain 50 or 200 Points Under Canada Express Entry


            The third quarter saw previous changes to the CRS fully bedded in after new points for French language skills and having a sibling in Canada were introduced in June 2017.

            The bedding in process saw the frequency of draws slow in June and July, before picking up again with three in August and two in September.

            What Is  Express Entry?

            Canada Express Entry is a system that selects the best candidates for immigration based on a multitude of factors used to gauge their worth to the Canadian economy.

            Through the system, candidates are invited to apply to one of the three main federal economic immigration programs, namely Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades and the Canada Experience Class. Each province can also nominate candidates from the Express Entry Pool, with a coveted provincial nomination worth 600 CRS points.

            The system was launched in 2015 and over the first two years was operated with a number of constraints.  Backlogs of applications from the former system still had to be cleared.  And certain anomalies had to be corrected.  But as 2016 concluded and the backlog was cleared, Express Entry draws began seeing CRS scores fall consistently into the lower 400s, with higher ITA numbers in each of the frequent draws.

            Express Entry: Invitations To Apply

            The first nine months of 2017 have seen just short of 70,000 ITAs issued under the Express Entry System, far in excess of the totals seen at this stage of 2015 (21,967) and 2016 (20,580).


            First 9 Months Total ITAs


            A key factor behind the increase is that economic immigrants are now almost exclusively coming to Canada through Express Entry. Previously, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) was clearing a backlog of applications made before Express Entry was launched.

            With an upper target of more than 73,000 economic immigrants in 2017 under the IRCC’s levels plan, upping the numbers of ITAs was of crucial importance, especially given the drop off factor. The government can now draw on two-and-a-half years of data to show how many invites it needs to make to reach its target.

            Looking quarterly, the decrease in ITAs between the third quarter and the first two quarters of 2017 can be clearly seen.


            ITAs By Quarter, 2015 To Present


            April to June was a record period for Express Entry, with more than 26,500 ITAs issued, crushing quarterly figures for the previous two years.

            The numbers dropped off to just over 18,000 in the third quarter; still high, but not as high as earlier in 2017.

            The main explanation for this relates to processing times. With a target of 80 per cent of applications processed inside six months, IRCC knows the majority of those it invited in the first six months of the year would land in Canada in 2017, contributing to the annual target mentioned above.

            However, those invited between July and now are significantly less likely to land before December 31, making them increasingly likely to count towards 2018 figures, which are yet to be announced.

            In the third quarter especially, the government had to tread carefully to ensure it gets the balance right between ITAs and immigration targets. With a new multi-year immigration levels plan expected in the fall, expect the numbers to rise again towards the end of 2017.

            Looking at the ITAs by draw, it is clear the numbers remain significantly higher than other years, and that 2017 is on track to see a record number of individual draws, with 22 in the first nine months versus 20 at the same point in 2016.


            ITAs By Draw, First 9 Months


            The program-specific draws (numbers 13 and 14) stick out on the graph because of their low numbers. These second-quarter draws were aimed specifically at Federal Skilled Trades candidates and provincial nomination candidates respectively. It is not known if IRCC is planning more such draws between now and the end of 2017.

            Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Scores

            Less frequent draws meant the minimum CRS score crept up in the third quarter, after reaching a record low of 413 in the penultimate draw of the second quarter.


            Minimum CRS Score By Draw, First 9 Months


            There were only six draws made in the third quarter of 2017, after seven in the first quarter and nine in the second quarter. Less frequent draws lead to more candidate profiles in the Express Entry Pool, meaning the bar is set higher for the target number of ITAs.

            The third quarter was good for the consistency of score required, with minimum scores ranging between 433 and 441. This gives candidates a clear target of the kind of scores they need to achieve that coveted ITA.

            No Further Changes Planned

            After two sets of changes to the awarding of CRS points recently, there is no indication the IRCC is planning further tweaks to the scoring system.

            Immigration officials have preferred to take a break from their two-week draw cycle immediately after changes have been made, to allow the necessary adjustments to take hold.

            With no indication of any further changes, IRCC is free to push ahead with draws in the rest of 2017 with a system more geared towards candidates with a connection in Canada and the type of core skills that evidence shows gives them a greater chance of long-term economic success.

            Express Entry In The Rest Of 2017

            IRCC officials will by now have an idea by now of what the immigration levels for 2018 will be. Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen has hinted the numbers will rise, although given the political tightrope he has to walk, it is wise to wait for the announcement expected in the late fall.

            If the numbers are to rise again, the Express Entry draw sizes will also need to rise in the fourth quarter, when the majority of candidates invited will arrive in 2018 and therefore count against the 2018 levels target.

            At the back end of 2016, when officials knew the 2017 target economic immigration levels were going to jump, the draw sizes began to increase significantly. The size of the Express Entry draws going into October will be a clear indication of what the government is planning for 2018.
