Express Entry draw

Express Entry is an online application management system that seeks to guarantee quicker processing of permanent residence applications to Canada under federal and some provincial programmes, as well as better economic results for applicants.

In order to participate in the Express Entry pool, applicants must submit a profile, also known as an Expression of Interest, if they satisfy the qualifying requirements (EOI).

The Canadian government performs an Express Entry lottery on a biweekly basis or about every two weeks. Each draw has a CRS cut-off score, which reflects the CRS score of the lowest-ranking applicant who is eligible to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in that particular country. A candidate who has received an Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence (ITA) has 60 days to complete and submit an official electronic Application for Permanent Residence (PR).

What are the different types of Express Entry Draw?

IRCC holds three kinds of Express Entry draw each year, according to the organization’s official website. These are the ones:

1. Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draw: Candidates in the Express Entry pool who have at least one year of Canadian work experience are eligible to participate in these draws.
2. Draw for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Candidates in the Express Entry pool who have been nominated by a Canadian province for Canadian permanent residence are targeted in these draws for consideration.
3. Federal Skilled Trade Worker (FST) draw: These draws are aimed at applicants in the Express Entry pool who meet the requirements of the Federal Skilled Trade Program and are thus eligible to apply. In general, these applicants have a lower CRS score when compared to the rest of the candidates in their pool.
4. All Program Draw: All programme draws are not unique to a certain programme. Instead, they are concerned with the applicant’s total CRS score, regardless of which programme he or she is eligible to apply for.

In order for my profile to be chosen in an Express Entry Draw, what steps do I need to take?

The majority of Express Entry Draws place a strong emphasis on the applicant’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ranking. Consequently, after you have submitted your Express Entry profile to the pool, you should consider all of the ways you may improve your CRS score position within the pool after you have submitted your profile.

When participating in an Express Entry Draw, what is the lowest CRS score that may be accepted?

The lowest CRS score that will be accepted changes with each Express Entry draw.

Since the introduction of the Express Entry system in 2015, the lowest CRS score that has ever been approved has been 75. In February 2021, a CEC Draw was held, and this was the winning entry.

Four hundred thirteen (413) points were obtained from an all-program draw that targeted Federal Skilled Workers as the lowest CRS score.

In each Express Entry Draw, how many profiles are chosen from the pool of candidates?

Each Express Entry draw has a random selection of Express Entry Profiles, and there is no fixed amount of profiles chosen in each draw. The number of profiles selected in each draw is determined by the number of candidates in the pool, the quality of candidates in the pool, and the needs of the Canadian labour market at the time of the draw. The number of profiles selected in each draw is determined by the number of candidates in the pool, the quality of candidates in the pool, and the needs of the Canadian labour market at the time of the draw.

You have been chosen from an Express Entry Draw. What should you do next is to fill out the application.

Upon receiving an Invitation to Apply, you will be notified that your profile has been chosen from an Express Entry Draw (ITA). You have 60 days from the date of receipt of your ITA to file a complete Application for Permanent Residence (PR). For additional information, please see our tutorial on how to get an ITA and how to file an eAPR (Electronic Annual Report).

What is the frequency of the Express Entry Draw?

Despite the fact that there is no fixed timetable for when Express Entry Draws will take place, you can anticipate one to take place at least once every two weeks. Every two weeks, on average, the IRCC has performed two Express Entry drawings since the beginning of the COVID 19 epidemic in 2015. The CEC and PNP candidates have been the primary focus of these Express Entry lotteries.

What increases my chances of being chosen during an Express Entry Draw if I have a job offer in hand?

Even if you have an accepted Canadian employment offer, there is no assurance that you will be selected for an ITA in an Express Entry lottery. It will, however, improve your chances of winning. For each accepted Canadian job offer submitted to the Express Entry pool, you will earn either 50 or 200 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Additionally, a Canadian employment offer may make your profile more attractive to the province in where the job offer is situated if the job offer is located in Canada.

What can you do to raise your CRS score in order to increase your chances of receiving an invitation to the next Express Entry Draw?

Applicants whose CRS score is substantially lower than the minimum cut-off in the pool may consider attempting to improve their performance. In order to get additional information on how to improve your ranking, please see Canadim’s recommendations for increasing your CRS score and your rating.
