PNP and CEC Draws to continue
Canada is yet to conduct an openย drawย in the current year. Canada will continue inviting only PNP and CEC candidates till pandemic travel restrictions are lifted. Based on last years trends, an all program draw might be pushed back to second half of 2021.
The goal appears to retain individuals staying and working in Canada since candidates outside the country cannot travel to Canada even if they complete all the formalities.
Canada has a goal to invite over 1.2 million immigrants over the next three years. Refer toย Canada immigration target 2021-2023.
