Two Selection Pathways: High Wage Requirement vs. SIRS Score
The October 29 draw brought some good news for the applicants through two different pathways -
- High Wage Selection (524 Invitations) - The candidates who fulfilled the requirement of earning wages of $49.00 per hour and annual salary of $99,000 in eligible occupations of NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, and 3, were invited without having to cross the 131 point threshold of SIRS score. This made it easier for the senior technical leads, managers and specialized professionals in the 90-120 scores category to receive the invitations.
- General Competition (248 Invitations) - The candidates who did not qualify for the high wage of $49/hour but scored a minimum of 131 SIRS score qualified through the general competitive pathway.
