Express Entry: 3,515 Candidates Invited to Apply Today

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 3,515 candidates in the Express Entry pool on May 28, to apply for permanent residence in a program specific draw.

The minimum Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) score was 440, which is a decrease of seven points from the previous draw. The last EE draw on May 15 invited candidates who had a CRS score of 447.

With this draw the cut off score continues to drop in successive draws amidst Covid-19.

This a second consecutive draw in a week, as the draw on May 27, invited 385 PNP candidates in Express Entry pool and the CRS score was 757.

Since the introduction of travel restrictions program-specific invitation rounds have become more frequent for Express Entry draws. To date IRCC has held twelve program-specific draws concentrating exclusively on PNP and Canadian Experience Class candidates.

Both groups of applicants tend to be in Canada than candidates coming through the Federal Skills workers Class and Skilled Trades Class, which implies that the current travel restrictions will not hinder them.
