Candidates are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which evaluates factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.
This draw is notable not only for its high number of ITAs issued but also for the CRS cutoff score reduction by 13 points to 663 compared to previous PNP-only draws. This decrease enhances the chances for more candidates to receive invitations, reflecting Canada’s ongoing efforts to attract skilled workers to meet its economic needs.
Implications for Applicants
Applicants who received an ITA in this draw must submit their complete applications within 60 days, along with all required documents to substantiate the information provided in their Express Entry profiles. Upon approval, successful applicants will attain permanent residency status, enabling them to reside and work in Canada.
