Canadian Immigration - Provincial Draws Outperform Express Entry In 2019

August 27, 2019

Provincial nominations present an easier option in comparison to Express Entry to achieve permanent residence in Canada.

Canadian Immigration Marches Ahead

Through the Express Entry Canada mainly sources the skilled overseas workers, and manages the profiles of candidates for its Federal Skilled Trades Class, Federal Skilled Worker Class, as well as the Canadian Experience Class. These Candidates get a rank based on the score that they get in the Comprehensive Ranking System, after consideration of education, age, language proficiency in French/English and work experience factors. Only a specific number of the top ranking candidates in the pool receive invitations to seek the permanent residence in Canada after holding the regular draws.

Canadian Immigration - Provincial Draws Outperform Express Entry In 2019

The CRS scores requirement to get the ITA in 2019 was in the range between 438 and 470. As on 15th August 2019 only 13 percent of candidates in Express Entry had a CRS score in that range.

Numerous provincial immigration streams were tremendously active in 2019 benefiting majority of the candidates who had a low score. There were 160 draws during 2019 Since January in the provincial streams. In comparison there were only 17 invitation rounds held by the Express Entry this year.

The provincial streams are connected to Provincial Nominee Program of Canada, allowing the participating territories and provinces in nominating a specific number of candidates to get permanent residence in Canada. Through them they were hiring the talent missing from the labor market.

All the candidates having a score that is lower than the score of Express Entry draw can still get many other opportunities. Even for the candidates unable to get in the pool, several base nomination streams give a path to obtain the permanent residence.

Canadian Immigration and Provincial Draws

The provincial nomination streams are of two types:

• Firstly the Enhanced nomination type that have a link with the Express Entry

• This is followed by Base nomination type that does not have a link with the Express Entry

Nine provinces as well as two territories participate in the PNP manage enhanced streams (nomination) that have a link with the Express Entry

Many streams conduct their individual draws having CRS scores that are below the score in Express Entry draw. 

Provinces like Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan manage enhanced nomination streams not considering the CRS score of a candidate.

Candidates selected through enhanced nomination receive an invitation to apply for the provincial nomination. Upon success they obtain 600 additional points in the CRS score of Express Entry and also get an effective guarantee to possess an ITA for permanent residence in Canada. 

Improving the Canadian Jobs Scenario

Provinces also manage their individual base nomination streams not aligned with the Express Entry. The skilled and educated individuals, not eligible in the Express Entry, required by the province get the pathway to seek permanent residence through them. This improves the Canadian jobs in a big way.

 Many provinces manage such base streams which value specific occupations and qualifications like daycare workers, physicians, and long-haul truck drivers.

Other base streams suit the students or visitors who spent some time in the province or possess a family or friendly connection.
