Canada Immigration Invites 3,725 Express Entry Candidates in Latest Draw Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has invited 3,725 candidates to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the latest Express Entry draw. This is an all-program draw, meaning that candidates from all eligible categories were invited. To be invited in this draw, candidates required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 500. The CRS is a points-based system that IRCC uses to rank Express Entry candidates. Candidates are awarded points for their age, education, work experience, language skills, and other factors. This draw is the fourth in the week of September 25. The previous three draws were: September 26: 3,000 candidates invited in an all-program draw, with a minimum CRS of 504. September 27: 500 candidates invited in a category-based draw for French-speaking proficiency, with a minimum CRS of 472. September 28: 600 candidates invited in a category-based draw for candidates in agriculture and agri-food occupations, with a minimum CRS of 354. The high number of invitations issued in recent weeks is a sign that Canada is committed to increasing immigration levels. The government has set a goal of welcoming 431,645 new immigrants in 2023, and Express Entry is one of the main programs used to select immigrants. If you are interested in immigrating to Canada through Express Entry, you can create an Express Entry profile on the IRCC website. Once you have created a profile, you will be entered into the Express Entry pool. IRCC regularly conducts draws from the pool and invites the highest-ranked candidates to apply for permanent residence.
