IRCC INVITED 2,095 CANDIDATES THROUGH EXPRESS ENTRY

In the latest development on April 23, 2024, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) continued its proactive approach towards immigration by issuing invitations to candidates through the Express Entry system. This recent draw, marked as General Express Entry draw #294, saw a total of 2,095 invitations to apply (ITAs) being sent out to eligible candidates.

What's particularly noteworthy about this draw is the slight decrease in the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required for eligibility. Candidates needed to have a CRS score of 529, which was 20 points fewer than the previous general draw. This adjustment underscores Canada's commitment to welcoming skilled individuals and addressing labor market needs.

Furthermore, the tie-breaking rule for this draw was set for November 08, 2023, at 17:50:29 UTC, ensuring fairness in the selection process. As of April 23, 2024, the Express Entry pool boasted a total of 214,697 profiles, reflecting the growing interest among individuals seeking to immigrate to Canada.

Throughout the year, Canada has consistently demonstrated its openness to immigration by issuing a cumulative total of 34,570 ITAs through 16 Express Entry draws. This steady stream of invitations showcases Canada's dedication to attracting talent from around the world and fostering economic growth and diversity within its borders.
