Saturday Surprise: Canada invites 27,332 Express Entry candidates in bold move

The Canadian government shows it is serious about achieving its 401,000 Immigration Levels Plan target in 2021 despite the coronavirus pandemic.

In what has been a year full of surprises, even yesterday’s Express Entry draw managed to catch all of us off guard.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held a rare Saturday draw in which it invited a stunning 27,332 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence.

The first surprise is the sheer size of the draw. Since its launch in 2015, the largest Express Entry draws ever have issued 5,000 permanent residence invitations. In other words, yesterday’s draw was nearly six times larger than the previous record.
