First Express Entry Draw of Canada Issues 4,750 PR Invitations After October 2023.

In the latest Express Entry draw, candidates were invited by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

In an all-program draw, 4,750 invitations to apply (ITAs) were sent out by the department. To be eligible for consideration, candidates needed to have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 561.

In the most recent draw, 3,600 candidates were issued ITAs on October 26 in a category-based selection draw for healthcare occupations. Candidates had to have a minimum CRS score of 431.

On November 14, the IRCC tweeted that some applicants were having trouble using the Express Entry Profile Builder and are unable to submit their application.

On November 16, the department followed up with a tweet saying the issue has been resolved. It is unclear what caused the extended pause in draws.

Details:

• Number of invitations issued: 4,750
• Rank required: 4,750 or above
• Min. CRS score: 561
