The latest draw was the 6^th round for ITAs in 2019 and 113^th overall under Express Entry.

Express Entry system was implemented by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on 1 January 2015. It is an immigration system that manages applications from skilled workers under Federal Economic programs. This is inclusive of:

• Skilled Worker Federal Program
• Skilled Trades Federal Program
• Experience Class Canada Program
• Some programs under the Provincial Nomination Programs

The immigration stakeholders are anticipating around 30 draws and 80,000 plus ITAs in 2019. The majority of the draws are also likely to have CRS minimum below 460. This is to ensure that the immigration authorities in Canada can meet the yearly target for immigration levels in 2019.
