Canada's Express Entry draw results
The results of the most recent Express Entry draw for Canada were announced on January 18, 2023.
In the most recent all-program draw, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 5,500 applicants for Canadian permanent residency, including those in the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).
A minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 490 points was required for this most recent draw, which was identical to the draw that took place on January 11, 2023.
In Canada, Express Entry is the preferred government immigration route.
The federal government of this nation employs Express Entry to attract qualified professionals from all over the world to Canada via permanent residence (PR).
Foreign nationals must first qualify for one of the three programmes included in the Express Entry application management system in order to become Canadian permanent residents through this method. Express Entry applicants can submit a profile using the IRCC's online portal and check their CRS score after confirming their eligibility for one or more of these programmes.
After that, IRCC will conduct a random draw once every two weeks or so. Following receipt of an Invitation to Apply, candidates who have achieved the cut-off CRS score for each draw are invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence (ITA).
