114,431 Invitations to Apply (ITA) were issued for Canadian PR in total. 155,810 individuals—principal candidates plus accompanying family members—acquired permanent residency through all ITAs. This was in spite of IRCC’s notable decision to halt Express Entry ITAs on September 20, 2021, for all Federal High Skilled Immigration Programs (CEC, FSWP, and FSTP). Throughout 2021, IRCC did not invite any FSWP and FSTP applicants. The CEC draws were initially conducted by IRCC for the majority of 2021, but they were stopped in September. In 2021, only PNP draws occurred often, typically every two weeks.
