Express Entry Draws: November Ends With Lower CRS Score And 4,750 ITAs For Canada PR 

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its second all-program Express Entry draws in November. 

Canada-immigration-news
The latest draw on November 23 maintained the same number of invitations to apply (ITA) at 4,750 but lowered the qualifying Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score to 491 points, three points drop from the previous November 3 Express Entry draws. 

OVERVIEW OF EXPRESS ENTRY LATEST DRAWS #236
Record-breaking Draw Size 4,750 invitations to apply for Canada PR 
Lower Express Entry Cut-off  Minimum CRS score required was 491
Is the Tie-break rule applied?  Profiles registered on or before October 13, 2022, 11:22:17 UTC were invited. 

This is particularly helpful in cases where two or more candidates end up with the same CRS score. 

This is the eleventh consecutive all-program Express Entry draw since July 06 as Canada resumed PR nominations for Federal Skilled Worker Program after a gap of nearly 18 months. 

Federal Skilled Worker Program allows direct PR pathways for foreign skilled workers based on their work experience. Receiving a provincial nomination can boost the Express Entry CRS score by additional 600 points. 

A common trend among all the draws since resuming is a consistent increase in draw size and a decline in qualifying scores to accommodate more profiles. This has led to a decrease in the Canadian immigration application backlog.  

Official data reveals that IRCC invited over 30,000 candidates through Express Entry since then.

Proposed Changes to the Express Entry System in 2023

The 2023-2025 annual targets for Express Entry landings (principal applicants, spouses, and dependents) are projected at 

  • 82,880 ITAs in 2023
  • 109,020 ITAs in 2024
  • 114,000 ITAs in 2025

IRCC is expected to issue ITAs for Canada PR to eligible candidates with specific work experience, education, or language ability. The occupation group choice would depend on Canada’s prevailing market demand. 

This will impact the relevance of CRS scores in some instances and may become less vital in future draws.

Self-employed physicians can apply under Express Entry for PR

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser recently announced new measures to enable physicians to apply under Express Entry and directly qualify for Canadian permanent residency. 

Until now, physicians or doctors who practice in Canada could not qualify for Express Entry 

programs since they were considered self-employed. Being self-employed in Canada for the purpose of gaining work experience did not make them eligible for most economic immigration pathways, including Express Entry. 

However, if you’re self-employed with at least one year of work experience in your home country, you can still apply for permanent residence through the Express Entry program.
