• The latest express entry draw is a reflection of a previous couple of months’ provincial nomination draws.
• Generally, when candidates receive a nomination from any province, they have nearly 30 calendar days to submit their final application.
• Once they submit their final application to the provincial authority, the immigration department verifies and updates the details to the federal. Eventually, it will add 600 additional CRS points of Provincial Nomination in the candidates’ express entry profiles.
• It is the 10th draw of the year and the second-lowest draw in-terms of inviting the candidates. The first lowest draw declared on 05 January 2022, which has invited only 392 candidates only.
• From March 2022, the IRCC is continuously decreasing the invitation ratio, and this indicates the less amount of draws from the provinces.

• As per Canadian Immigration Minister Mr. Sean Fraser’s statement “With the economy growing faster than employers can hire new workers, Canada needs to look at every option so that we have the skills and labour needed to fuel our growth”.
