2021年2月13日，加拿大联邦移民部快速通道(Express Entry)针对加拿大联邦经验类移民(CEC)进行了最新一次筛选，将池子里的2.7万申请人全部捞起。
本次筛选最低只要75分，是历史上最低一次，也就是说只要申请了，就能通过！
加拿大移民局第一时间发文，证实了这个消息的真实性：只要在2020年9月12日以前提交移民申请，分数在75分以上的申请者， 总共27322人，已经全被移民部邀请！
据悉，加拿大政府认为，当下的加拿大需要通过海外移民者来填补本地高度空缺的劳动力市场，恢复本地经济。这次筛选也是政府为了在2021年实现401,000名新移民目标做出的努力。
这些候选人属于快速移民池的加拿大经验类移民（CEC），需要具有至少1年的加拿大工作经验，并证明他们可以为加拿大的经济做出贡献并且缴纳税款。
收到邀请的人有90天的时间提交完整的申请。
值得注意的是，大约90％的CEC候选人已在加拿大境内。这意味着他们不受当前旅行限制的影响。
考虑到本次如此大规模的筛选，池子里即使还有相关申请人也已经所剩无几。因此受到这次筛选的影响，之后大概率会迎来更多人入池。两周后的邀请如何我们暂时不能判断，但也不能排除再次迎来全部获邀的情况，如果你也在加拿大境内且符合条件，建议尽快入池。
加拿大移民局表示，为应对新冠疫情后的经济复苏，吸引熟练有经验的移民是政府计划的核心部分。由于旅行限制限制，他们正在采取新方法来吸引已经在加拿大工作的人们。目前来看，加拿大仍致力于吸引更多新移民来到加拿大，想要移民加拿大的朋友不要犹豫。
Canada invited 27,332 candidates to apply for permanent residence in its latest Express Entry draw— you read that right.
Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) on February 13. This unprecedented Express Entry invitation round only required candidates to have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 75— the lowest CRS requirement ever.
“Today’s draw was almost six times larger than the previous Express Entry record of 5,000 ITAs,” said Attorney David Cohen, Senior Partner of Campbell Cohen.
“This goes to show Canada is committed to achieving its goal of welcoming over 400,000 immigrants this year.”
A total of 5,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) were issued in each of the four Express Entry draws that took place between November 18 and December 23 last year. Prior to today, the lowest CRS cut-off requirement ever was 199 points in the May 16, 2017 draw which only invited Federal Skilled Trades Program candidates. Express Entry was launched in January 2015.
On Wednesday, Canada also held an Express Entry draw inviting 654 Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates to apply for permanent residence, that makes a total of 27,986 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued this week.
IRCC implemented the tie-break rule, meaning candidates who had the minimum score of 75 were only included if they submitted their Express Entry profile before September 12, 2020 at 15:31 UTC.

Today’s draw goes to show IRCC’s commitment to achieving its target of 401,000 new immigrants in 2021. Of those, IRCC is aiming to welcome 108,500 newcomers through Express Entry-managed programs, according to its 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan. Next year that target increases to 110,500, and then to 113,750 in 2023. Canada has given Federal High Skilled programs— which are managed by the Express Entry system— the largest share of new immigrant allocations for the next three years. This means the Express Entry system will continue to be Canada’s main source of new immigrants for the foreseeable future.
Canada’s immigration minister, Marco Mendicino, recently said that IRCC will make efforts to achieve the ambitious immigration targets by transitioning more temporary residents to permanent residents during the pandemic.
The unprecedented draw today seems to indicate that IRCC is aiming to issue as many invitations as it can at the beginning of this year so that it can complete the permanent residence landings of successful Express Entry candidates later in 2021. This would provide IRCC with a greater opportunity to achieve its immigration levels target amid ongoing coronavirus disruptions across the world. At the same time IRCC and Mendicino continue to stress that they will also look to global talent including those currently outside of Canada to support the country’s post-pandemic recovery.
