On February 13, 2021, Canada Immigration (IRCC) invited 27,332 people from the Express Entry pool under the Canadian Experience Class. This draw was unprecedented. With the number of people invited the lowest score dropped to 75 points. This compares to 454 points (the lowest score in all rounds of invitations since September 2020).
Please contact us:
• If you were selected from the pool on February 13 and require assistance with your application

On April 14, 2021, two new programs were introduced to facilitate Permanent Residency for Foreign Workers with Canadian work experience and Recent International Graduates.
These programs have created an opportunity for many individuals currently in Canada (who may not otherwise qualify for immigration) to apply for permanent residence to Canada. These are temporary programs due to expire before the end of 2021. Please call us if you would like an assessment of your qualifications and how to proceed further.
