On August 5th, the EE issued the 200th round of invitations. This round of invitations is only for experienced immigrants (CEC applicants).
The lowest score in this round is 404 points, which is 47 points higher than the lowest invitation score in the CEC on July 22. The number of invitations was 3,000, and the number of invitations decreased by 1,500. This round of invitations needs to enter the candidate pool before 05:39:26 UTC on August 3, 2021.
This round of invitation scores increased significantly, and the number of invitations decreased. For friends with scores in the marginal zone, it is necessary to enter the pool as soon as possible, so as to avoid further increase in scores and miss the opportunity to be invited. Canadian Express Entry (Express Entry), referred to as EE, is currently the Canadian Federal Department of Immigration for the selection of federal skilled immigration, skilled worker immigration, experienced immigration and some applicants for provincial nomination projects. EE uses the CRS comprehensive scoring system to score candidates for age, work experience, education level, language ability and other aspects. Applicants enter the candidate pool and wait for invitation after obtaining the scores. The EE system will periodically issue minimum score invitations to candidates. Candidates who meet the minimum invitation score line will receive an ITA, which is an application invitation letter, and get the opportunity to submit a formal permanent residence application.
CEC entry requirements:
1) Live in a province other than Quebec;
2) Have a full-time job or equivalent part-time job in NOC 0, A, B for one year in the past three years;
3) Work experience must be obtained after graduation, and have a legal status in Canada during the work period;

Canada is expected to open its borders to US citizens and permanent residents on August 9. If the epidemic is well controlled, it will open its borders to fully vaccinated tourists from various countries on September 7. Once it opens, EE may return to a higher score. Therefore,if you want to immigrate to Canada, you should plan ahead and be fully prepared!
