2019-09-18 – Canada passed 60,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for 2019 as immigration authorities conducted a new Express Entry draw.

The September 18 draw saw the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score edge down by a point to 462, with 3,600 ITAs issued for the sixth consecutive draw.

Authorities have now invited 63,400 candidates in 2019, against a high-skilled immigration admission target of 81,400.

IRCC broke the record for annual Express Entry ITAs in 2018 with 89,800.

The draw saw the tie-breaking rule implemented on August 29, 2019 at 3.57am EST. If more than one candidate had the minimum CRS score, only those who submitted their Express Entry profiles before this date and time received invitations.

This was the 19th round of invitations under Express Entry in 2019 and 126th overall.
