Latest CRS Cutoff Score

Express Entry Latest Draw 240
The 240th draw for Express Entry permanent residence candidates happened on February 2, 2023, and was Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw.

It has resulted in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points requirement for receiving an invitation to apply (ITA) to decrease as compared to the draw on January 18, 2023.
The CRS score of the lowest-ranked invited candidate was 489 points, with 3,300 ITAs issued in total.
​
As with the previous draws, a tie-break rule was used. As a bunch of candidates have the same 489 CRS score, only those who have created their profile before March 29, 2022 at 16:09:00 UTC will get an ITA.

Distribution of Candidates in the Express Entry Pool per CRS Score

The graph below shows the number of candidates in the Express Entry pool by CRS bracket, just a few days before the latest draw. These numbers change on the day of draw, thus explaining the discrepancies between the draw results and the numbers in the graph. 

Distribution as of February 1, 2023

When is the next draw?

There is unfortunately no way to tell when the next draw will take place. However, based on the data gathered since the beginning of Express Entry in 2015, there is a clear pattern on when the draws take place: on Wednesdays, every two weeks. 

But as said before, it is only a pattern, and there have been deviations from it: some draws took place on Mondays or Tuesdays, and sometimes wait time between two draws is one or three weeks, instead of the usual two. 

If you want to be alerted about when a draw takes place, don't hesitate to follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter (links at the bottom of the page).  

What's an Invitation to Apply (ITA)?

An Invitation to Apply (ITA) is sent to the immigration aspirants in the Express Entry pool who are selected by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). ITAs are issued on a priority basis when a draw is conducted from the Express Entry pool, meaning that only those with the highest CRS score will receive an ITA. 

Each Express Entry draw has a cutoff minimum score: only those who are assigned a CRS score above or equal to the cutoff score will receive the Invitation to Apply. For those who have a CRS score equal to that of the cutoff score, candidates who have been the longest in the pool will receive the ITA.
​
An ITA is not to be confused with eligibility to the three federal programs of Express Entry, or with a job offer from an employer or with the Provincial Nomination Programs.

How to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA)?

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ranks immigration in the Express Entry pool following some profile criteria:
  • Human capital factors such as age, level of education, language ability in French and English,
  • Spouse or common-law partner human capital factors, if applicable,
  • Skill transferability factors, such as foreign work experience and language ability, and
  • Additional factors, such as a provincial nomination, a valid job offer, studies in Canada, French language abilities, having a sibling as a permanent resident in Canada or Canadian citizen.

The maximum score in the Comprehensive Ranking System is of 1,200 points, but it's impossible and there's no need to get a CRS score of 1,200 points. However, if your CRS score is below the cutoff score, we strongly advise you to check out our article on how to improve your score.

Immigration Plan for 2023-2025

On November 1, 2022, the government of Canada revealed its Immigration Plan for 2023-2025. The plan reiterates the country's investment in increasing immigration targets for the period: approx. 305,900 new permanent residents over three years through the three Express Entry programs (FSW, CEC, and  FST), and an additional approx. 333,000 through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
