Will CRS Score drop for FSW draw?

 

With a 2021 annual target of 108,500 invitations for the Federal High Skilled category, the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are likely to drops the CRS score requirement for FSW draws. The number of Express Entry invitations too is likely to increase in the upcoming EE draws for the FSW category.

 

Hence, if you are an aspirant for a Canadian PR visa, you have every reason to be positive about the forthcoming EE rounds of invitations.

 

If you are thinking of immigrating to Canada, this is possibly the right time to apply for the same. The federal, as well as the provincial governments of Canada, have been quite positive about inviting immigrants in the last few months.
