Here are the results of Canada's most recent Express Entry draw on January 18, 2023.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 5,500 invites to Canadian permanent residence applicants in the latest all-program draw — including candidates in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).
This latest draw invited candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 490, down 17 points from the draw that took place on January 11, 2023 (minimum CRS score of 507).
Express Entry applicants can expect Canada to conduct another draw in around two weeks.
About Express Entry
Express Entry is the top federal immigration pathway in Canada.
This country's federal government uses Express Entry to bring skilled workers from around the world to Canada through permanent residence (PR).
Becoming a Canadian permanent resident through the Express Entry application management system first requires foreign nationals to be eligible for any of the three programs that fall under this system. After confirming their eligibility for one or more of these programs, Express Entry applicants can then submit a profile through IRCC's online portal and review their CRS score.
IRCC will then conduct a randomized draw roughly every two weeks. Each draw will invite candidates above the cut-off CRS score for that draw to apply for Canadian PR after receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Express Entry applicants who receive an ITA will have 60 days (from the date of receipt) to finish and submit their PR application online to IRCC.
