In the last Express Entry general draw, who was awarded an ITA?

In its most recent Express Entry draw, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sent out 1,490 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to qualified applicants in each of the three Express Entry-managed programs last week.

A minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 535 was established for candidates to acquire an ITA in the draw that took place on February 13.

For Canada’s federal economic immigration programs, such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Express Entry acts as the applicant management system.

Even though there were a lot of ITAs given in this draw, many applicants are left wondering how they might have improved their profiles to get an ITA from the IRCC due to the different cut-off CRS scores for each draw. Knowing the subtleties of the CRS and earning as many points is possible factors including education, job history, language competence, and adaptability can greatly increase a candidate’s likelihood of getting an ITA in subsequent drawings.

As Canada’s immigration laws continue to change, prospective immigrants who wish to get permanent residency in Canada must continue to be aware of program criteria and maximize their Express Entry profile.
