Canada invited 919 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence on March 30. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) only invited Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates in the new invitation round. To be invited, candidates needed to have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) of at least 785. The minimum score was relatively high because PNP candidates get an automatic 600 points added to their score when they receive their nomination. Without the nomination, the lowest-scoring candidates would have had 185 base points. Invited candidates now have 60 days to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

You have the ability to live permanently in a country with a stable economy, society, and political environment. This includes having access to ample job opportunities, universal healthcare, high quality education for your children, and a passport that provides visa free travel to 185 countries. These are among the key reasons that those with Canadian parents seek Canadian citizenship for themselves. You can claim Canadian citizenship at any time of your life. There is no age restriction on when you can submit a Proof of Citizenship application. In addition, you can submit the application whether your Canadian parent is alive or deceased. A Canadian immigration lawyer can use their expertise to help you apply for Proof of Citizenship, which is also referred to as a Canadian citizenship certificate. An experienced immigration lawyer can ensure you avoid unnecessary mistakes and delays by submitting a complete and accurate Proof of Citizenship application on your behalf.
