The latest Express Entry draw turned up 3,600 invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
On November 27, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), held another selection round from the pool of Express Entry candidates.
Those invited needed to have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 471 to be chosen for this round.

The Express Entry system manages the pool of eligible candidates for Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and the Canadian Experience Class.
These are the main pathways for economic-class immigrants to obtain permanent residence.
Candidates are awarded a score under the CRS based on factors such as age, education, skilled work experience and proficiency in English or French.
A set number of the highest-ranked candidates are invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence through regular draws from the pool.
