In IRCC’s third Express Entry draw this week, Canada’s immigration department conducted a second consecutive category-based Express Entry draw, this time\u00a0issuing 5,900 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to Canadian immigration candidates with recent work experience in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) occupations.\u00a0Today’s draw, IRCC’s first STEM draw since\u00a0July 5, 2023, saw ITAs issued to eligible candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 481.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today’s STEM draw follows two other draws that have taken place this week. The first was an all-program draw on December 6 where\u00a0IRCC issued ITAs to 4,750 immigration candidates with a minimum CRS score of 561. IRCC’s other draw this week took place yesterday (December 7, 2023) when IRCC issued 1,000 ITAs in a French-language proficiency category-based draw to candidates with a minimum CRS of 470.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Express Entry<\/p>\n

Canada’s federal government has an\u00a0application management system called Express Entry. This system is used\u00a0to jointly manage immigration applications from three specific economic-class immigration\u00a0programs for permanent residents\u00a0– the Federal Skilled Worker Program\u00a0(FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)\u00a0and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of late June 2023, Canada now operates two different kinds of Express Entry draws – “standard” and category-based draws.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Standard Express Entry Draws<\/p>\n

“Standard” Express Entry draws – denoted as such simply for differentiation purposes – have a process that begins when\u00a0a candidate assesses and confirms their eligibility\u00a0for either the FSWP, the CEC or the FSTP. At this time, eligible candidates can\u00a0create an online profile with IRCC to enter\u00a0into the Express Entry candidate “pool”. Every candidate who successfully enters the pool is then given a CRS score, which is a value based on human capital factors deemed important by IRCC,\u00a0including but not limited to the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n
