Yesterday, the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced an Express Entry draw (159th) for candidates involved in the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
250 candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 415 received an invitation to apply (ITA). Yesterday’s draw was the first FSTP-specific draw of 2020 and the first one since October 16, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The draw brings the total number of ITAs issued in 2020 to 61,850. This signifies that despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada is committed to reaching its immigration targets for 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IRCC applied its tie-breaking rule with the timestamp of June 2, 2020, at 09:35:31 UTC. This means that all candidates with a CRS score of 415 or above, and previous candidates with a score of 415 or above who entered their profile in the Express Entry pool before the selected tie-breaking date and time will receive an invitation in this round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
