New Express Entry draw sizes to be similar to pre-pandemic

In July, when all-program Express Entry draws resume, the number of invitations may resemble pre-pandemic levels.

Despite the fact that the expected number of invites issued in each round was redacted, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) memo stated that the draw size would be similar to the average number of invitations issued prior to the epidemic.

Prior to March 18, all-program draws in 2020 ranged from 3,400 to 4,500 people. All-program draws in 2019 ranged from 3,200 to 3,900.
