Canada issued invitations to apply for permanent residence to 2,095 candidates through the Express Entry system on April 23rd, 2024. This was the third draw of the month.
The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required for this general (meaning candidates were considered from all Express Entry programs) draw was 529. Express Entry is a point-based system managed by the Canadian government to select skilled workers for permanent residence. Candidates are ranked based on their work experience, education, language skills, and other factors. Those with the highest CRS scores receive invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence.
This general draw saw a decrease in the minimum CRS score from the previous general draw on April 10, 2024, which required a score of 549 and invited only 1,280 candidates. The lower CRS score suggests that Canada is aiming to invite more candidates to apply for permanent residence in 2024.
