IRCC invites 7,000 candidates with a minimum CRS
score of 490. This is the first all-program draw
since January 18.

• IRCC held the seventh Express Entry draw of 2023
  today.
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
  Canada (IRCC) issued invitations to 7,000
  candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking
  System (CRS) score of 490.
• The number of ITAs in this draw beats the
  previous record of 5,500 candidates invited
  in the last all-program draw on January 18. In an
  all-program draw candidates are considered from
  all three Express Entry programs the Federal
  Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal
  Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and the Canadian
  Experience Class (CEC).

This draw breaks a pattern of program specific
draws that have been occurring over the past two
months. Since the last all-program draw there
have been four program-specific rounds of
invitations, three for PNP-only and one for FSWP
candidates. The most recent draw was PNP-only and
just 697 candidates received ITAs on March
1. Prior to 2023, all Express Entry draws between
July and November 2022 were all-program draws
that invited over 1,000 candidates each time and
grew as the minimum CRS score decreased.

IRCC releases 2021 Express Entry data

• A recently released report from IRCC summarizes
  Express Entry data for 2021, which was a unique
  year in the programs history.
• Starting in December 2020, all-program draws were
  paused to ease the backlog caused by COVID-19
  related travel restrictions and border closures.
  IRCC continued to issue ITAs to candidates in
  the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and
  the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) until
  September 2021 when CEC draws were also paused.
• Overall, there were 114,431 ITAs issued in 2021.
  There were no all-program Express Entry draws in
  2021.

• All 42 Express Entry draws were program specific
  for the PNP and the CEC and no ITAs were issued
  to FSWP or Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  candidates.
• Over half, 64, of ITAs were issued to recipients
  between the ages of 20-29 years. Under the
  Comprehensive Ranking System, candidates in this
  age range receive 100 CRS points. Candidates
  receive fewer points after they turn 30.
• Because of the pauses, the majority of ITAs were
  issued to candidates who were already living in
  Canada as temporary residents. However, there
  were still some ITAs issued to candidates living
  abroad. The top five nationalities were

What is Express Entry?

• The Express Entry application management system
  oversees three programs the Canadian Experience
  Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker
  Program (FSWP) and the Federal Skilled Trades
  Program (FSTP). Candidates in the Provincial
  Nominee Program (PNP) are already eligible for at
  least one Express Entry program.
• Express Entry programs rank candidates using the
  points-based Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
  Points are awarded based on work experience,
  language ability, education, and human capital
  factors. Candidates with the highest scores will
  receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) and can then
  apply for permanent residency.
