Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has recently conducted an Express Entry draw, issuing 1,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) in a category-based selection for candidates with French-speaking proficiency. To be eligible, candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 444.
This was the third Express Entry draw of the week. Earlier, the department invited 1,613 candidates with Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nominations, requiring a minimum score of 743. Additionally, a draw on October 9 invited 500 candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) with a minimum score of 539.

Before this week, the last draw took place on September 19, inviting 4,000 CEC candidates who needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 509, a slight increase from the previous CEC draw on August 27, which had a score of 507.
In recent months, IRCC has decreased the frequency of category-based selection draws, with no draws for categories other than French language proficiency since July 5, when healthcare candidates were invited.
Conversely, CEC draws have become more frequent this summer, with IRCC issuing 21,800 ITAs to CEC candidates since July. This aligns with IRCC’s goal to increase “domestic” draws and decrease the number of temporary residents in Canada, helping the department meet its annual permanent resident targets.
Today’s draw marks the third of the month. Last year, IRCC conducted four draws in October, inviting a total of 9,173 candidates.
