Canada Immigration (Latest Draw)

Canada Immigration (Latest Draw)

The Government of Canada has invited 3,900 Express Entry candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence in a new draw held October 3. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System score for this draw was 445. 

Today’s invitation round was the third draw from the Express Entry pool in three weeks and marks a return to 3,900 Invitations to Apply, or ITAs, for all-program invitation rounds — the largest number drawn in 2018.

The Express Entry system manages the profiles of candidates in Canada’s three main federal economic immigration categories — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, the Federal Skilled Trades Class and the Canadian Experience Class.

Candidates are ranked according to their Comprehensive Ranking System  (CRS) score, which awards points based on factors including work experience, education, age and proficiency in English or French, Canada’s two official languages.

The highest-ranked candidates are issued an Invitation to Apply , or ITA, through regular invitation rounds.This year has seen IRCC introduce large, standardized draw sizes that have increased gradually over the course of the year up to the current high of 3,900 ITAs.

IRCC established a base of 2,750 ITAs over the first two draws of 2018 and then ramped up steadily by increments of 250 or 500 roughly every eight weeks, reaching 3,900 ITAs on September 5. The only all-program invitation round to deviate from this pattern was the Express Entry draw on September 19, when the draw size was reduced to 3,500.

IRCC has now issued a total of 66,400 ITAs over 21 draws in 2018.

Today’s CRS minimum of 445 is an increase of four points over the September 19 draw, which had a minimum CRS score of 441.

The tie-break date and time used in this draw was October 2, 2018, at 04:02:11 UTC, meaning all candidates with a CRS score above 445, as well as those candidates with scores of 445 who submitted their profile before this specified date and time, received an ITA in this invitation round.

Express Entry candidates can improve their ranking in a number of ways, including a provincial nomination that results in 600 additional CRS points.

Express Entry-linked Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) have been very active in 2018, and new streams were introduced in Nova Scotia and Alberta over the summer.

Every Canadian province and territory with a PNP now has at least one Express Entry-linked nomination stream.

AWS Certification Importance and Benefits

AWS Certification currently ranked # 1 in overall certifications worldwide reported by Forbes. Many people think why certification is important. For those, i would like to mention here that Certification can take you to interview table. So both study and certifications are important.

Certification is a matter of demonstrating your skills and establishing your credibility. Achieving credentials could open doors to get heavily involved in AWS-related projects, or present to clients as a credible subject-matter expert. Of course, if you're job-hunting, just having 'AWS Certified' on your CV won't get you hired, but it could help you get you past various gatekeepers and into an interview room. Businesses don’t always have an easy way of testing the competencies of a job applicant. Also, they may be sifting through tonnes of CVs, so having the certification certainly gets you the wanted attention. An extra bonus is the swag you receive from AWS Summits and conferences, although I'm not sure I can justify that as a reason to get certified.

The AWS Certification is valid for two years. But that necessary as the new technologies will come every year and professionals needs to update their skills.

The study listed the top 8 tech-sector jobs as:

1. Project manager
2. Software engineer
