For all those looking to settle and get permanent residency of Canada, there cannot be better times. The Canadian government seems to be committed in achieving the 3 lakh immigrants target for the country. Major changes in the immigration rules have been made in recent times to make Canadian migration a possibility for more skilled workers and professionals.

The fast track Express Entry system started in 2015 and the first draw that took place in January 2015, issued Invitation to Apply (ITA) to 779 applicants with a cut off of 886 points. Looking at the recent draw held on May 4, the number of ITAs has increased fivefold to 3,796 with a cut off of 423 points. This has been the lowest point requirement in the history of Express Entry. It also means that more people are eligible to apply under the Express Entry category than ever before.
