Eleventh Express Entry draw of 2023

IRCC held the Eleventh Express Entry draw of 2023 on April 26th and issued another 3,500 invitations in this latest Express Entry draw.

In an all-program draw, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 3,500 invitations to apply (ITAs) to candidates. A minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 483 was required for candidates.

Candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) are considered in an all-program draw.

This draw followed an all-program draw on April 12 in which 3,500 candidates got invitations to apply (ITAs). Candidates have to have a CRS score of at least 486.

The April 12 draw invited half the number of applicants as the lotteries on March 15, March 23, and March 29, all of which invited 7,000 candidates each across two weeks rather than the customary bi-weekly draws. It also increased the required CRS score from 481 to 486. The larger draw size and higher CRS score are consistent with earlier draws in 2022 and early 2023.

Nonetheless, the March draw, which included 7,000 applicants, was the largest ever for the entire program. The following two drawings replicated this figure, leading up to the invitation of 21,000 candidates over the course of two weeks and the issue of 21,667 ITAs in total. Only applicants for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) were allocated the remaining 667 ITAs on March 1.

How does Express Entry Program work? The applicant needs to carry out the three core steps –

Step 1- Create an Express Entry profile-

The applicant should enter the Express Entry pool by creating a profile. A profile needs to have the educational credential assessment and Language score.

Step 2 – Receive ITA on meeting the Point score-

After you are in the Express Entry pool, wait for the express entry draw to announce the results. On meeting the CRS score requirement, you will receive an ITA from the IRCC.

Step 3 – Submit documents and get the PR visa.-

After receiving the ITA, the applicant will have around 60 days to submit the complete application along with the documents.

The program has three sub-streams, and the applicant can apply through any of the sub-streams.

Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP)
Federal Skilled Traders Program (FSTP)
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

FSWP is for skilled workers who have never lived in Canada before, while FSTP is for tradespersons with experience in listed occupations, and CEC is for foreign workers with Canadian work experience.
