Canada issued 3,300 ITAs to CEC applicants in recent draws. This latest Express Entry draw was the second draw of the week. In order to be considered, applicants required a minimum CRS score of 507. 

Yesterday, the department invited over 1,121 applicants to a Provincial Nominee Program-only draw. To be considered, applicants required a minimum CRS score of 694. 

The last round of multiple Express Entry draws took place between August 13 and 15. The draw on August 15 was a category-based selection draw for those eligible for the French-speaking proficiency category. On August 13, Canada invited 763 applicants in a PNP-only draw. 

Applicants needed a minimum score of 690 to be considered. Also, a draw on August 14 was for 3,200 Canadian Experience Class applicants with a minimum score of 509. 

IRCC has recently developed a pattern of holding multiple draws every other week. Over the past few months, there has been an increased number of PNP and CEC draws. This aligns with the department’s priority to hold more domestic draws to help reduce the number of temporary residents in Canada while also working toward hitting the permanent resident admissions targets highlighted in the Immigration Levels Plan 2024-2026. 

IRCC is planning to welcome 110,770 newcomers through Express Entry in 2024 and 117,500 in 2025. Applicants who obtain ITAs in the latter half of the year are more likely to help meet the 2025 target because ITCC has a service standard of six months to process all finalized Express Entry applications.

What Is Express Entry? 

Canada issued 3,300 ITAs to CEC applicants in recent draws. Express Entry is an application management system that oversees three prominent economic immigration class programs, i.e., the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. 

Applicants in these programs are evaluated and ranked based on human capital attributes using the Comprehensive Ranking System. They obtain scores for their profession, work experience, education, age, language ability, and profession, along with other factors such as whether they are immigrating with a spouse or partner or having a sibling in Canada. 

The points they obtain for each factor are added together and make up an overall CRS score. Those who have the highest scores are the most likely to obtain an ITA for permanent residency in Canada in a forthcoming Express Entry draw. 

In May 2023, IRCC also declared it would begin holding category-based rounds of invitations for Express Entry applicants who meet specific criteria because of their profession or language abilities.
