2021 Annual Report - Express Entry .
The Express Entry year end report 2021 provides an overview of EE and presents data from across all stages of the EE continuum, including profile submissions, invitations to apply (ITAs), applications, processing times, and admissions.
In 2021, IRCC continued to target ITAs at CEC- and PNP-eligible candidates, who are more likely to be physically located in Canada and therefore less impacted by pandemic-related border restrictions.
In 2021, 443,004 EE profiles were submitted through the system, which represents an increase of 23% from 2020 and 33% from 2019.
