Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has extended invitations to apply (ITAs) in the most recent Express Entry draw.
In this category-based selection, 1,000 ITAs were given to candidates with strong French language skills.
Applicants needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 446 to qualify.
This is the second draw of the month, following an active summer period. In July and August, IRCC conducted 14 separate Express Entry draws. Notably, July set a new record for the most draws in a single month since the system’s inception in 2015, with nine draws held between July 2 and July 31.
The previous Express Entry draw took place on September 9th, where 911 invitations were issued, focusing exclusively on Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates.
Recently, IRCC has established a pattern of holding multiple draws every two weeks, typically including at least one for PNP candidates. This aligns with their goal of conducting more “domestic” draws to provide temporary residents in Canada with greater chances of becoming permanent residents and to manage the influx of new temporary residents entering the country.
