Express Entry Round of Invitation – February 20, 2019

We rank candidates in the pool using a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). We select the highest-ranking candidates from the pool and invite them to apply for permanent residence.

Each invitation round has a set of instructions that are:

• posted online at the time of the invitation round
• used by the Express Entry system to invite candidates from the pool

The instructions include:

• the date and time of the invitation round
• the number of candidates that will get an invitation to apply
• which immigration program(s) are included in the round (some invitation rounds may only invite candidates for 1 program, for example only from Federal Skilled Trades)

Check your score and then use this information to see how likely you are to get an invitation in the next round.
