The second draw of 2016 under the Express Entry program for Canadian permanent residence invited applicants with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 453 points or more to apply. This means that applicants can hope to be selected based on their own qualifications in education, language ability, work experience, and other factors. The agency Abhinav encouraged clients to apply to the pool despite earlier draws requiring higher points, expecting that qualifying points will continue to decrease. The Express Entry Program is beneficial for skilled professionals because the majority of occupations qualify to apply, there are no occupation quotas, applications remain in the pool for at least a year, unsuccessful applicants can reapply, and applicants can be selected based on their CRS score alone without

1. 2nd Draw of 2016
453 points
Here is more music and harmony to the ears of all applicants who have filed under the Express Entry Pool
for Canada Permanent Residence and are expecting the latest selection ranking news vis-à-vis compre-
hensive ranking system (CRS). The 2nd CRS draw announced on January 13th 2016,
informs that the applicants who score 453 points or more under the CRS have been invited to
apply (ITA) under Canada FSW program. This means that an applicant can hope for sure to get a positive
selection even on standalone basis and against one’s own credentials vis-à-vis Education, Language,
experience and other aspects.
Abhinav (www.abhinav.com) was amongst the very first agencies to encourage its clients to file their appli-
cation into the pool and not to get scared by the indicated higher points, from earlier draws, under the CRS.
We expect that qualifying points are likely to come to further down in near future.
A careful look at Canada Express Entry Program (EEP) reveals that it is the best program for skilled
professionals interested in filing for permanent residence visa, for following reasons:
1. Majority of occupations are qualified to lodge their applications in the pool, a luxury not available in
any other skilled immigration program;
2. There are no individual occupation specific quota restrictions;
3. Applications stay in the express entry pool at least for an year and that opens the options of getting
selected under the overall country immigration quotas of next year as well;
4. One can reapply into the express entry pool even if he/she is not selected during the first filing;
5. The point system stays the same at 67 points, which means that EEP offers best of both the worlds
– earlier selection process and new ITA (Invitation to apply) process under CRS;
6. Under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), One can get selected from the Express Entry
Pool, even without having confirmed offer from a Canadian employer or Canadian experience or qualifica-
tions;
7. Applications can be lodged in whether single or married.
