Express Entry Draws

1. General Rounds of Invitations:

• In general rounds, IRCC invites top-ranking candidates from the Express Entry pool who are eligible for one of the three programs managed through Express Entry. These draws cast a wide net, considering candidates from all programs.
• Yesterday’s draw was a general round, where 1,980 candidates received Invitations to Apply (ITAs) with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 524. This slight decrease from the previous draw highlights the competitive nature of Express Entry.
• Remember, the CRS score is your golden ticket—it reflects your age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors.

2. Category-Based Rounds of Invitations:

• IRCC occasionally conducts category-based draws to meet specific economic goals. These draws target candidates with unique skills or qualifications.
• Just a few days ago, on March 13, IRCC held a category-based selection draw for candidates in transport occupations. A total of 945 candidates received ITAs with a minimum CRS score of 430.
• If you’re in a specialized field, keep an eye out for these targeted draws—they could be your pathway to permanent residency.
