我們對快速通道池子中的人數並未規定上限。我們希望最終結果為僱主、省或是領地能得到一批富有經驗和技術的員工來滿足他們的市場要求。我們將以年移民水平計劃中得到永久居民申請邀請函（ITA）的候選者為依據。此水平計劃將為快速通道下的移民專案提供更大的錄取範圍。快速通道將會為加拿大僱主們提供人才庫存，以便他們在無法尋找到適合崗位的加拿大公民或永久居民時，得以從候選人中選擇到高質量的人才。在快速通道政策下，以勞工市場影響評估（LMIA）或是省、領地提名形式出現的勞動市場需求將給候選人提供組後的額外加分，從而使得候選人排名組足夠靠前來在下一個候選人草案中得到邀請。為快速通道池子設立的草案將定期出臺，各條草案的說明將釋出在我們的網站上。請注意所有的工作邀請都將服從當時當地加拿大就業和社會發展部的勞工市場影響評估（LMIA）。快速審理將使僱主與具有潛力的候選人雙方受益。加拿大移民局的目標是，從我們接收到完整永久居民申請資料的那天開始，到審理結束的那一天，時間不超過六個月。

There is no limit to the number of people who may enter the Express Entry pool. We expect this to result in a range of candidates with a greater variety of skills and experience from which employers, provinces and territories can select to meet their needs. However, we will base the number of candidates who get an ITA for permanent residence on the Annual Immigration Levels Plan. The Levels Plan will still set out the broad admission ranges for the immigration programs that are part of Express Entry.Express Entry will create an inventory of high-quality candidates who employers in Canada will be able to consider when they cannot find Canadians or permanent residents to fill job vacancies.Under Express Entry, labour market demand, in the form of a job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a nomination by a province or territory will provide candidates with enough additional points and be ranked high enough to be invited to apply at the next eligible draw of candidates. Draws will be made from the Express Entry pool on a regular basis, and instructions for each draw will be posted on our website. Note that all job offers will be subject to Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC’s) LMIA requirements in place at that time.Employers and potential candidates will also benefit from faster processing. CIC’s goal is a six-month or less processing time from the day we receive a complete application for permanent residence to the day a final decision is made.

這個關於申請人數是沒有設定上限的，因為加拿大本身就是一個移民國家，另外雖然沒有對進入池子的候選人的人數作出限定，但是，加拿大每年公佈的移民計劃中確定有規定移民的總人數計劃以及關於經濟類移民（Economy class）和難民以及團聚類移民在總人數中所佔到的比例。所以設定上限是沒有必要的。
