Canada Immigration Express Entry Rounds Update
The Canadian Government rank candidates in the pool using a points-based system and select the highest-ranking candidates from the pool and invite them to apply for permanent residency who are interested in Canada Immigration.
In last seven rounds of invitation, the Government sent 15,600 invitations to apply to the candidates under Provincial Nominee, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Worker Program. Candidates from the Provincial Nominee and Canadian Experience Class were only eligible for rounds of invitations until 25 June 2020. However, in the most recent draw on 08 July 2020, the Government invited candidates without specifying any program and it seems they are back to their normal trend of sending invitations without specifying any program due to which overseas candidates without Canadian experience or Provincial nomination will also be eligible for rounds of invitations. The invited candidates will have 60 days to submit their applications for Canada permanent residency.
