Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 4,200 candidates in the Express Entry pool on September 30 to apply for permanent residence. Federal Skilled Workers Program, CEC and Federal Skilled Trades Program candidates are now eligible to receive invitation to apply for permanent residence.

The minimum Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) score was 471, which was one point lower than a similar draw on September 16.

This draw brings the total number of ITAs issued to 78,350.

Candidates in the Express Entry pool are ranked using a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The highest-ranking candidates from the pool are selected and invited to apply for permanent residence. To be eligible to be invited to make an application, the candidate must be ranked among the first 4,200 eligible candidates in the general ranking.

This is the third consecutive all program draw which denotes that IRCC is slowly getting back to pre-covid-19 draws.
