May 4, 2017 - Today, the Department of Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 3796 people to apply for
Permanent Residence to Canada through Express Entry. The number of
invitations issued increased by 131 invitations from the last draw
on April 19, 2017. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score
was 423, a rise of 8 points from the last round.
This CRS cut-off is similar to the other draws that have taken
place over recent weeks and months, which have seen lowest
qualifying score move from the mid-400s down to the low-400s.
To date, the lowest ever threshold, 415, was in the April 19,
2017 draw.
A recent report from Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provides insights into the history of
Express Entry, and how this fits into the growth in invitations
issued and a decrease in the CRS cut-off threshold so far this
year.
