Some useful excerpts from the article:
"
CIC aims to select tens of thousands of new immigrants through Express Entry in 2015.
All candidates issued an invitation to apply under this draw had either a valid job offer or provincial nomination.
Future draws expected to select candidates without job offers or provincial nominations."
"While the new Express Entry system continues to be improved and tested, the government of Canada has prudently kept the first draw quite small. These first invitations will likely be the first real test subjects for the system and help the government spot and fix potential glitches or problems."
"CIC has indicated its intention to conduct up to 25 draws this year and plans on meeting its immigration targets under the 2015 immigration plan. Future draws are expected to occur more frequently and the government is expected to issue a much greater number of invitations to apply to a wider array of candidates in the Express Entry pool."
"I’m quite surprised that there were only 779 candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System score of 886 or greater. If CIC could only get that number from people who have obtained a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment or provincial nomination, it seems unlikely that the targets set under the 2015 immigration plan can be met without both increasing the number of candidates selected in each draw and lowering the required score under the Comprehensive Ranking System."
“This is positive news for people currently without job offers or provincial nominations, but I would encourage any eligible candidates to create their Express Entry profiles so that they may take advantage of this potential opportunity.”
