- There was a substantial decrease in invitations issued through Express Entry in 2022, with a 59% dip compared to previous years. This can be attributed to various factors, including:
- Focus on backlog clearance: IRCC prioritized processing applications already in the system, leading to fewer new invitations.
- Labor market needs: Invitations may have been targeted towards specific occupations in high demand within Canada.
- Changes to the system: Updates to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) used to score candidates could have affected individual eligibility and invitation chances.
