On March 8, 2021, Canada issued 671 invitations to Express Entry candidates. Those candidates were allowed to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence. The candidates having a minimum score of 739 were invited.
Why this score requirement is high?
Answer: It is due to the reason that every candidate in this draw seems to be provided with a provincial nomination from any Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Due to the provincial nomination, additional scores have been added to the original CRS scores. Similar to prior Express Entry invitation rounds, the Tie-Breaking rule was implemented. In this phase, the time span included was for those candidates who had submitted their Express Entry profiles before 16, 2021 at 19:10:25 UTC.
Till now in 2021, a total of 38,657 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) have been issued. As compared to the previous year, these numbers are much greater. Due to the influence of Covid-19 in the previous year, the expected projections were not fulfilled, therefore, this year Canada will house as many immigrants.
What is Express Entry: The Express Entry System is responsible for the management of the three main economic immigration streams of Canada. These streams are:
Moreover, other provincial immigration programs are attached to the Express Entry System. The eligible candidates for the immigration programs are issued scores under the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System. The points are awarded on basic human capital factors such as age, language, work experience and language proficiency.

The candidates with the highest scores in the draw are issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in an Express Entry invitation round.
