Canada immigration authorities have conducted a new Express Entry draw that saw candidates require a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System score of 450.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada issued Invitations to Apply to 3,350 candidates in the May 1 immigration draw.
The draw saw Canada reach 31,250 ITAs for 2019. The record for a calendar year was set in 2018, when 89,800 ITAs were issued.
Canada has a 2019 high-skilled immigration target of 81,400 newcomers, as per the federal government immigration levels plan.
IRCC implemented the tie-breaking rule on November 5, 2018 at 8.27am EST for the latest draw. If more than one candidate had the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
This was the ninth round of invitations under Express Entry in 2019 and 116th overall.
