IRCC Issues 6,300 ITAs in Record-Low CRS Express Entry Draw | Canada Immigration News
IRCC invites 6,300 Canadian Experience Class candidates with a minimum CRS score of 515 in the latest Express Entry draw, the lowest score of the year for non-category draws.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued invitations to apply (ITAs) in the latest Express Entry draw.
The department issued 6,300 ITAs to Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates.
Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 515 to be considered.
Today's minimum CRS score represents the lowest score of the year in a non-category based selection draw and is also lower than the last CEC-only draw on May 31, which required a score of 522.
So far this month, IRCC has issued 17,361 ITAs over six separate draws.
Yesterday, IRCC invited 1,391 candidates in a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)-only draw with a minimum CRS score of 670. Prior to that, on July 8, IRCC invited 3,200 candidates in a category-based draw for French proficiency.
CRS scores for PNP-only Express Entry draws tend to be higher than average because candidates nominated for the PNP automatically receive an additional 600 CRS points on top of their existing score. For example, an Express Entry candidate with a score of 300 who is successfully nominated will then have an overall CRS score of 900.
