In the most recent Express Entry draw, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has extended invitations to apply (ITAs).

A total of 1,325 candidates were invited to apply in this all-program draw. To qualify for an ITA, candidates were required to have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 542.

This draw comes after the results of the December 8 draw, where 5,900 candidates received ITAs in a category-based selection. These candidates, specializing in STEM occupations, needed a minimum CRS score of 481. Additionally, on December 7th, a category-based draw targeted individuals with French language proficiency, resulting in the invitation of 1,000 candidates from the Express Entry pool with a minimum CRS score of 470.
