Canada Express Entry: Indians Made Up 43% of Permanent Residents in 2020

According to the Express Entry Year-End Report 2020, as many as 63,923 got permanent residence in Canada through the Sistem de intrare expres in 2020. This number is for the principal applicants – and does not include the accompanying family members – that migrated to Canada in 2020 via Express Entry.

Since March 2020, in the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government of Canada had been focusing more on candidates that were more likely to already be within the country, thereby not impacted by the travel restrictions. Candidates, that is, with a provincial nomination or with recent Canadian work experience.

Provincial nominations are issued under Programul de candidaturi provinciale din Canada, denumit și PNP canadian. Those with Canadian experience, on the other hand, are eligible for the Canadian Experience Class or CEC.

During 2018 to 2020, while the proportion of candidates admitted through the Program federal de meserii calificate (FSTP) remained relatively the same, the number of individuals receiving invitations through the other two Express Entry programs got affected to a certain extent. Comparatively, the proportion of those awarded reședință permanentă canadiană în 2020 prin Clasa de experiență canadiană (CEC) a urcat.

No invitations have been issued in the recent past to those eligible for the Program federal pentru muncitori calificați (FSWP).

Express Entry is an online permanent residence submissions management system used by the federal government of Canada. Three economic immigration programs of Canada come under Express Entry. These are – (1) Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), (2) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and (3) Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Provinces and territories in Canada might also go through the Express Entry pool, shortlisting and inviting candidates with the most potential as per their local labour markets. Provincial and territorial (PT) governments invite Express Entry candidates through their Express Entry linked PNP streams. A PNP nomination guarantees an invitation from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). While you can create an Express Entry profile if you secure 67-points on the Canada Eligibility Calculator, you cannot apply for permanent residence unless invited by IRCC. It is the ranking of the candidate – based on their Sistem cuprinzător de clasare (CRS) score – that is among the main factors that determines who gets invited. A PNP nomination is worth 600 CRS points.

In 2020, a total of 360,998 Express Entry profiles were submitted. 63,923 were admitted into Canada as permanent residents.
