Good news !
Nationally, the Government of Canada has a target of 330,800 new admissions to Canada for 2019, which is an increase of nearly seven per cent over 2018’s target of 310,000.

Under the federal government’s multi-year immigration levels plan unveiled at the end of October, Canada’s target for total admissions to the country through its various economic, family and refugee programs will increase by more than 13 per cent between 2018 and 2021 — from 310,000 to 350,000.

Quebec says its move to cap immigration at 40,000 new admissions in 2019 — a reduction of around 10,000 over this year — is meant to ensure that immigrants who are admitted are successfully integrated into the majority French-speaking province and put down roots there.
Manitoba draw info:

The December 5 draw included an unspecified number of invitations to candidates in the federal Express Entry system, which manages the pool of candidates for Canada’s three main federal economic immigration programs — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and the Canadian Experience Class.
Saskatchewan has issued 743 new invitations to candidates in its Occupation In-Demand and Express Entry immigration sub-categories in draws held December 6.

The bulk of these invitations — 532 — went to candidates in Occupation In-Demand candidates.

The remaining 211 invitations went to candidates in the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program’s Express Entry sub-category, which is linked to the federal Express Entry system and allows Saskatchewan to nominate eligible candidates for permanent residence.
Invitations issued to Express Entry candidates with a provincial nomination for permanent residence are up this year, according to new data from the Government of Canada.

Of the 62,500 Express Entry candidates invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence between January and September, 12 per cent — or roughly 7,500 — had a provincial nomination.
Alberta has released the first details of draws conducted through its Express Entry-linked stream since its introduction in June.

A total of seven draws have been held since then, with the first and largest issuing 155 Notifications of Interest (NOIs) on July 6 to Express Entry candidates with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores as low as 302.

The Alberta Express Entry Stream allows the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) to search the federal Express Entry system for candidates who meet the stream’s eligibility requirements and invite them to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence.
Looks like we might get invitation next year
Hi Guys,
Pls feel free to collaborate and share any important info.
The Government of Canada kicked off the new Express Entry year in impressive style Thursday, issuing 3,900 invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence to candidates with scores as low as 449.
Prince Edward Island’s provincial nominee program held its first draw of 2019 on January 17, issuing 91 invitations to immigration candidates through its Express Entry, Labour Impact and Business Impact categories.

Known as the PEI PNP, the program allows the island province to nominate a set number of economic immigration candidates each year for permanent residence.

A total of 91 invitations were issued in the January 17 draw, including 61 through the PEI PNP’s Express Entry and Labour Impact categories.

PEI’s Express Entry stream is linked to the Government of Canada’s Express Entry system, which manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada’s federal economic immigration programs.
The Government of Canada has introduced a slight increase to its settlement funds requirement and is urging Express Entry candidates to ensure their profiles reflect the change. The increase raises the required minimum settlement funds by just over 1.5 per cent for each family level.

For a single person arriving unaccompanied in Canada, this translates to an increase from $12,474 to $12,669.

All Federal Skilled Worker Class and the Federal Skilled Trades Class candidates must show proof of funds, which are required to ensure the principal applicant and her/his accompanying family members have the means to support themselves financially upon landing in Canada as permanent residents.

Canadian Experience Class candidates who are working in Canada on an eligible work permit are exempt from having to prove they have the minimum settlement funds.

However, Canadian Experience Class candidates invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence through the Federal Skilled Worker Class will have to show proof of funds.
