The nineteenth draw for Canadian immigration through the Express Entry selection system has been performed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on October 23, 2015. A total of 1,502 invitations to apply (ITAs) for Canadian permanent residence were issued to candidates with 489 or more Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. Express Entry is Canada's immigration management system for the federal economic immigration programs, namely: Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, and the Canadian Experience Class. Express Entry came into operation on January 1, 2015.
The latest draw is the first since the Canadian federal election, which was held earlier this week. The election resulted in a Liberal majority, with Prime Minister designate Justin Trudeau set to form a new government imminently. The fact that an Express Entry draw was held within days of the election having been held and during a transfer of power shows evidence that economic immigration will remain an important component of Canada's immigration policy. The future of economic immigration was covered in-depth by CICNews this week.
