Highlights: Express Entry 2020 and Immigration plans
The Express Entry year-end report for the year of 2020 released 
by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), dealt 
with some interesting findings.
Additional points
A total of 332,331 Express Entry profiles were submitted in 2019, a 
20% increase from the previous year. Of these profiles 72% were 
eligible for one of the federal immigration programs.
Among the eligible profiles, 69% had not claimed any 
additional points.
In certain scenarios, additional Comprehensive Ranking System 
(CRS) points are granted. For example, an individual with a 
provincial nomination receives an additional 600 CRS points. 
Those with arranged employment receive an additional 50 or 200 
points. Candidates with a Canadian degree, French language 
proficiency or who have a sibling in Canada can also claim 
additional points.
The most common claims for additional points were made for having 
graduated from a Canadian school (13%) or for having a sibling in Canada 
(12%).
Another point of interest is the distribution of ITAs under different 
programs:
A total of 26 rounds of invitation were held by IRCC last year, with 85, 300 
invitations issued in 2020.
• Federal Skilled Worker Class candidates received 45 per cent of ITAs 
issued in 2019, or 38,809 of 85,300 ITAs.
• Canadian Experience Class nominees received the second-highest 
number of ITAs in 2019 at 30,563
• While, ITAs issued under the Provincial Nominee Program amounted to 
14,928 – an increase of 6 percent over last year.
Profiles of the applicants who received an ITA:
Most of the invitations were issued to candidates aged between 20 and 34 
(86%). Most candidates also had an undergraduate degree (at least three 
years long) or higher (90%).
Targeted NOCs
In addition, the most common primary occupations of the candidates 
invited were software engineers and designers (NOC 2173), information 
systems analysts and consultants (NOC 2171) and computer programmers 
and interactive media developers (NOC 2174). Other common occupations 
were in finance, business, marketing and engineering.
Where the immigrants are 
from:
 Among candidates who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA), the most common 
countries of citizenship were India, Nigeria, China, Pakistan and the United Kingdom. 
India alone accounted for almost half of all the candidates who received invitations.
 Popular destinations for the immigrants:
 As you would expect, the majority admitted candidates were destined for Ontario. These 
candidates account for around 64% (that is 69,969 candidates). The second most 
popular destination was British Columbia, accounting for a further 18% (20,064 
candidates).
 Interest increased considerably in Alberta, Manitoba, Nunavut and Prince Edward Island.
 Rise in median cut off scores
 The CRS cutoff ranged from 438 to 475 in 2019, making an average score of 461. In 
2018 the average score was 442.
 This rise in the average CRS cut-off score suggests that the Express Entry pool became 
more competitive in 2019. This was partially due to a larger pool size, as well as the 
increased number of candidates selected through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
 PNP recipients automatically receive an additional 600 CRS points toward their overall 
score.
 Processing time
 The average processing time in 2019 was eight months. IRCC did not meet its 
processing standard of finalizing 80 per cent of all Express Entry applications in six 
months. They managed to complete 60 per cent of applications within a six-month 
timeframe.
