  the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
  (IRCC) invited 3200 candidates to apply for
  permanent residence in Canada.

Minimum CRS score drops by 3 points in latest
Express Entry draw

• The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
  cut-off score for the invited candidates was 469,
  three points lower compared to the previous
  Express Entry draw held on December 11.
• A lower CRS cut-off score is attributed a shorter
  interval between these two draws. While Express
  Entry draws usually take place in a gap of two
  years, only eight days lapsed between the latest
  draw and the previous one. Shorter interval means
  lesser time for the Express Entry pool to be
  replenished with profiles of eligible candidates,
  hence low CRS cut-off score
• Tie-break rule was applied for the latest Express
  Entry draw as well, the time stamp given being
  November 14, 2019 at 084133 UTC. It means ITAs
  were issued to only those candidates with a
  minimum CRS score of 469, who submitted their
  Express Entry profiles before the said date and
  time.

• With the latest draw, the total number of ITAs
  issued by the IRCC so far in the year 2019 is now
  85300. Compared to the 89800 ITAs issued in 2018,
  this is 4500 ITAs shorter. 2018 remains to be the
  year in which the highest number of ITAs was
  issued.
• As per the multi-year immigration levels plan of
  Canada, the country is planning to admit 85800
  new permanent residents in 2020 through Express
  Entry, compared to 81400 this year. 
• Canada is also planning to increase admission
  target for Provincial Nominee Programs to 67,800
  in 2020 compared to 61,000 this year. Most of the
  PNPs have at least one stream linked to the
  Express Entry system.
