Number of invitations issued: 2,250

Rank required to be invited to apply: 2,250 or above

Date and time of round: August 17, 2022 at 13:43:47 UTC

CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 525

Tie-breaking rule: December 28, 2021 at 11:03:15 UTC

Since July, Canada has held four Express Entry draws for all programmes.

More Express Entry candidates are being invited by IRCC to apply for permanent residency.

The IRCC issued 2,250 invitations to apply for permanent residency. The cut-off for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 525. Express Entry is one of the most popular immigration routes in Canada for skilled applicants.

Candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) were eligible to be invited because there was no specific programme listed for this draw.

Since all-program draws resumed on July 6, 7,500 applicants have received ITAs overall. The minimum CRS score has been continuously dropping each week by eight or nine points while the number of candidates invited has steadily climbed by 250 with each draw.

The current cutoff score is 33 points less than the draw on July 6, which had a cutoff score of 557. Comparing today’s CRS to the most recent draw on August 3, it has dropped by 8 points.

For more than 18 months, Express Entry drawings were stopped by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Only those individuals were asked to apply during this time who qualified for permanent residency through the CEC or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). But in September 2021, CEC draws were also stopped.

The global COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing when the draws were paused due to an excessive quantity of permanent residency applications. Canada’s border was closed at this time, and travel policies constantly altered.
