As of April 4, 2018, there were 81,812 candidates in the Express Entry pool. Out of this, 3,500 candidates were issued the Invitation To Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residence in Canada at the 87th Express Entry Draw held on April 11, 2018. #ImmigrationCorner
The Express Entry system is an umbrella body for economic/skilled immigrants to immigrate to Canada. Economic/skilled immigrants are foreign nationals who are well educated, have skilled work experience from home or in Canada, have official language ability,etc #ImmigrationCorner
In 2017, a goal of 300,000 new permanent residents was set, with nearly 58% from the economic class, 28% from family sponsorship/reunification, and 14% from refugees and humanitarian applicants. This has been reviewed for the years 2018 to 2020. #ImmigrationCorner
Starting from 2018, Canada has set a new target of nearly one million permanent residents in 3 years. The breakdown of the number of permanent residence applicants Canada will welcome in the next 3 years is 310,000 in 2018; 330,000 in 2019; and 340,000 in 2020. #ImmigrationCorner
Of the 310,000 permanent residents expected in 2018, the express entry system (Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, and Canadian Experience Class) is projected to welcome 74,900 applicants to Canada as permanent residents. #ImmigrationCorner
As of April 11, 2018, seven Express Entry draws have been done in 2018 with 21000 candidates invited to become permanent residents in Canada.

What is the cost of immigrating to Canada as a skilled immigrant?
What should I budget for?
What amount is needed as settlement fund for my family?
How can I show proof of settlement funds?

Our #ImmigrationCorner Information session starts now! Join us to know this and more.
The decision to immigrate (move permanently) to another country is one that comes with some financial responsibilities. This may range from obtaining an international passport, paying relevant fees, and even the funds needed to settle down upon arrival. #ImmigrationCorner
The Canadian Government understands this & is making conscious efforts to keep official fees directly payable to Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as affordable as possible. There are, however, third-party fees also payable to other agencies #ImmigrationCorner
