After a long wait, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) finally launched the 18th draw of federal express entry immigration system on August 2, 2017. The draw will select the candidates achieving the CRS score requirement and subsequently, issue the ITA (Invitation to Apply) for Canadian Permanent residency to such eligible candidates. Lets take a look at key statistics of the 18t EE draw.

The IRCC kept the applicants waiting for almost 20 days to launch its 18th draw. Usually, IRCC follows a cycle of 15 days (a fortnight) between two express entry draws. Last draw of express entry was launched on 12th July 2017, and it remained the only EE draw launched in the month of July 17. The applicants registered in the express entry system were eagerly waiting for one more EE draw in July, however, it wasnt to be. Now the 18th EE draw launching in first week of August 2017 might have given big relief to the selected applicants waiting for their ITAs since long.
New IRCC Pattern of Single Express Entry Draw in a month
The Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada has started this new pattern of launching the only EE draw in a month. This pattern started from month of June this year, when IRCC launched only one draw (June 28) in the month. The trend continued in July as well as the single draw launched in July as well.
It will be interesting to see how IRCC goes about their task of launching periodic EE draws in the month of August 2017. The EE draw launched very early in the month this time around, so keeping the applicants on hold throughout the whole month seems unlikely from IRCC.
