IRCC held the Ninth Express Entry draw of 2023 on April 12th.
In 2023, IRCC issued more ITAs than in the entire year of 2022.
IRCC unveiled its most ambitious Immigration Levels Plan to date in November. Over the next three years, the plan outlines immigration targets for permanent residents across all business lines. This year, 82,880 people will be granted permanent resident status through Express Entry, with the number expected to rise to 114,000 by 2025.
In an all-program draw, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 3,500 invitations to apply (ITAs) to candidates. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 486. 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 is the fourth Express Entry draw in a row, with 7,000 candidates invited. The March 29 draw also had the lowest CRS cut-off score since December 2020, at 481.
A record-breaking month for Express Entry. In the history of Express Entry, March was an unprecedented month. Over four draws, the IRCC distributed 21,667 ITAs. This was the second-highest monthly total since the launch of Express Entry in January 2015. In February 2021, IRCC invited 27,332 candidates in a single draw targeting Canadian Experience Class candidate, breaking the record for the most candidates invited in a single month.
Yesterday’s draw comes after three of the second-largest Express Entry draws in history. The first was on March 15, when 7,00 candidates with a CRS score of 490 were invited.
Express Entry draws are typically held every two weeks on Wednesdays. However, the next draw was held just over a week later, on March 23, and IRCC invited an additional 7,000 candidates with a CRS score of 484.
On March 29, another 7,000 candidate draw (for candidates with a minimum CRS score of 481) was held. This amounts to 21,000 candidates being invited in three weeks. The remaining 667 candidates were invited on March 1 in a draw limited to Provincial Nominee Program candidates.
