Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted another round of invitations in the Express Entry system, specifically targeting candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). In this draw, 911 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) were issued to candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 732.
This marks the first Express Entry draw of September, following an active summer where IRCC held 14 separate draws across July and August. Notably, July set a record for the highest number of draws within a single month since the system’s inception in 2015, with nine draws between July 2 and 31.
The previous Express Entry draw occurred on August 27, issuing 3,330 ITAs to candidates within the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program.
IRCC has recently established a trend of conducting multiple draws every other week, often including at least one draw for PNP candidates. This aligns with IRCC's commitment to holding more "domestic" draws to provide increased opportunities for temporary residents in Canada to transition to permanent residency, thereby reducing the influx of new temporary residents.
Here is the summary of the 2024 Express Entry draw results formatted as a table:
