By introducing the Express Entry System, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has made the complete immigration process smoother. Earlier relocating to the ‘Maple Leaf Country’ was a real tough call but not anymore. Before the system was introduced, it was expected that it will be a big hit among the prospective immigrants. Though the system was well acknowledged, it received it shares of criticism as well.

It’s been more than six months that the system has started accepting applications. Let’s have a look on the latest updates on the Canada Express Entry 2015 for our readers!

To some extent, the Express Entry System has not been very successful in meeting with the real expectations of prospective immigrants. With the announcement of the system it was announced that applicants from all genres may apply. However, it’s just half the truth. The fact is the applicants have to be eligible under the Federal Economic Immigration Programme.

Chris Alexander, the minister of the CIC had reportedly stated that Express Entry will be free of occupation list but it is must for applicants to prove that they have at least one year’s work experience in the skilled occupation in the last 10 years. Each applicant is thoroughly scrutinized and applicants with the positive factors to contribute towards the country’s economy and meet with the local market need are likely to be picked.

Express Entry is a complete online system, it requires applicants to create an online profile and submit an ‘Expression of Interest (EoI)’. Candidates with high score on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) will be issued an ‘Invitation to Apply (ITA)’ and will have 60 days to claim Permanent Residency (PR).

Applicants are selected through draws. The CIC has set a target of processing the visa application of up to 2, 85,000 applicants for the year 2015 alone. To achieve the set target, draws at frequent intervals are taking place. Recently, to be more precise on July 17, 2015, the 13^th took place and the CIC issued an ITA to around 1,581 applicants with a cut off points of 451 on the CRS.

In India, the Express Entry system has created a buzz among the potential immigrants and various professionals, such as Engineers, Managers, Doctors, and Charted Accountants among others are creating online profile and waiting for the ITA. It is expected that the CIC will increase the number of draws take place every month. It has been observed that not more than two draws take place in a month and it is likely that the number will go up.

Express Entry System--Closing Thoughts

The first four draws has seen a real high cut off on the CRS, but as the frequency of the draws increased, the cut off decreased simultaneously to below 500 leaving a positive hope among those without a job offer. Thanks to their experience and skills chances they might be picked up in the next draw. Half the year has already passed, and to achieve the set target, the CIC is expediting the complete process.

The latest updates on the Express Entry Canada 2015 are that the 13^th draw has taken place and 1,581 applicants have been issued an Invitation to Apply to claim PR. The system has created a buzz among the prospective immigrants.
