Canada Express Sweepstakes July 20: Official Highlights.

Why is the number of ITAs low on Express Entry?
- Keep in mind that prior to the pandemic, IRCC issued a higher number of invitations in the past. In fact, draws are made with between 3,000 to 5,000 ITAs.
- The invitations for July 6 and today, July 20, are far less than historical numbers, for the following possible reasons:
- The immigration service is working on the backlog of applications generated since the pandemic.
- Lowering the target for explicit entry invitations for foreign-trained professionals. At one point, IRCC prioritized invitations to immigrants residing in Canada.
- Some people also speculate that the lower number of ITAs issued is because the IRCC has shifted priority to newer immigration programs.
Who is in the Express Entry Pool?
As of July 18, 2022, Canada has a total of 239,631 candidates in the Express Entry Pool. The following graphic shows the distribution of the profiles of applicants who are active in the pool before today’s draw.

The Canada Express Entry draw pool was introduced in 2015 for foreign workers wishing to live and work in Canada permanently. This program is organized in three ways:
- federal skilled worker.
- Specialist trades of the federal government.
- Canadian experience class.
- invitation rounds
- All invitation rounds in Canada are based on the comprehensive ranking system criteria, some of which include:
- Age of the candidate at the time of profiling.
- educational level of the candidates.
- Applicants with previous work experience.
- Language skills of the candidates (English and French).
- Regardless of whether the candidate has a job offer in Canada or not.
- Perceived adaptability to life in Canada.
- Candidates who meet the requirements for either of these programs may apply for permanent residency in Canada through the appropriate program.
Candidates wishing to be considered for the Canada Express Entry Draw must first create an Express Entry profile in order to be included in the candidate pool for subsequent draws.
In addition, all Canada Express Entry draw profiles are compared. This is achieved through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The candidates with the highest scores qualify for the next pool.
What to do if you are not invited to apply?
- Your express entry profile will expire automatically if you do not receive an invitation to apply after 12 months. So you must be called into the Canada Express Entry Draw if you qualify after 12 months. You can see this date in your account.
- IRCC will remove the account once it expires. After removing the account, they will send you a message to remind you.
- However, you can create a new account for Canada Express Entry. Even if your profile is about to expire, you can print out screenshots of your profile to make it easier to re-enter your information.
When is the next Express Entry draw date?
Normally there is a Canada Express Entry every two weeks on a Wednesday. However, there are situations where a PNP draw takes place on a Wednesday. In such cases, the Canada Express entry draw will take place the following day, which is Thursday.
What is a federal express entry?
