Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have invited 2,991 candidates in the Express Entry pool to apply for permanent residence in the second draw to take place so far this August. Candidates with 433 or more Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) as a result of the August 9 draw. This is the lowest CRS cut-off threshold since May, and therefore the lowest since changes to the CRS — including the introduction of additional points for French speakers and candidates with a sibling in Canada — were implemented in early June.
The three previous draws that took place since those changes came into effect all had a CRS cut-off threshold in the 440s. The fact that the latest draw followed quickly after the previous draw, motorcycle fairings, which took place exactly a week ago on August 2, would have been a contributing factor to the decrease in the threshold this time around, as longer gaps between draws allow more candidates to enter the pool.
*Note: Draws of May 26 invited provincial nominees with a minimum CRS score of 775. and candidates in the Federal Skilled Trades Class with a minimum score of 199.
Following today’s draw, Yamaha r6 fairings, the total number of ITAs issued since Express Entry was launched in January 2015 stands at 125,587. Of these, 60,742 have been issued so far this year; cbr60Orr fairings, this is significantly more than the total number issued in all of last year
*Note: Draws of May 26 invited provincial nominees with a minimum CRS score of 775, and candidates in the Federal Skilled Trades Class with a minimum score of 199.
