Did not receive ITA in the Express Entry Draw 3/18/2021 even though I was above CRS cut off.

Hi there!

They just had another Express Entry draw today for CEC (the program I am eligible for)…The CRS cut-off was 449 however my score CRS is 491, and I have not received an ITA yet.

I am a little worried, and not sure what this means? Did I not get selected despite my score being well beyond the cut-off?

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I received my ITA!! Thank you everyone for your help

Calm down and breathe, it can take up to 24h to receive the invitation. Did you enter the pool before the 15th March?

The draw happened an hour ago. It can take 24 hours or more to receive the email. Just wait.

Great, thank you very much! I have some piece of mind knowing that I should receive one soon.

Yes... That is how I am eligible for CEC.

Hey guys, so I had to have entered before the 15th to be eligible? I entered on the 15th, I'm assuming no luck for me this time around? CRS was 474

You should be eligible assuming you are a CEC applicant (i.e. Canadian work experience).

I was also curious about this too... I didn't know there was a date cut off for when you had to enter the pool in order to be drawn. Is there somewhere on the IRCC website that tells you when you had to have submitted yourself in the EE pool by before each draw??

I am a CEC applicant. But, oh well, here's to hoping, if not I'm gonna assume it's a month-long wait. Thanks for the response!

I really hope they clarify information like this!

There is no information set in stone like a calendar for draws and cut-off dates. But when a draw happens, IRCC will give some information (like min. CRS score, number of invites, etc) including the date when they took a snap-shot picture of candidates in the pool to give ITAs to. It’s usually a 2-3 days before a round of invitation, but it depends. It can sometimes be a week before or just the day before (have a look at the previous rounds of invitations to get a more precise idea of the cut-off dates).
