Express Entry Draw 253: IRCC Surprises Candidates with 700 Invitations

Highlights:

• IRCC Invites 700 Candidates
• Category Based Draws
• Express Entry

In the latest Express Entry draw, a total of 700 Invitations to Apply (ITA) were issued to candidates who achieved a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 511. Notably, this draw did not specify a particular program, meaning that invitations were extended to candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

The latest draw came as a surprise, as the had previously announced plans for a healthcare-targeted draw and a STEM-targeted draw later this week. However, Draw 253 stood out for its lower number of ITAs compared to previous all-program draws this year.

Furthermore, the CRS score requirement was the highest recorded this year and marked a significant increase from the previous week's score. The CRS score for today's draw rose by 25 points compared to the last all-program draw, Draw 251.

Last week, the IRCC introduced a new approach with category-based draws, starting with healthcare occupations. In the first category-based draw, 500 ITAs were issued. Additionally, the IRCC revealed its intention to conduct another draw for healthcare workers, inviting an additional 1500 applicants.

Category Based Draws

The category-based selection draws are a new approach in Express Entry, targeting candidates with specific occupational expertise or other sought-after attributes. They align with Canada's economic priorities and promote the French language outside Quebec. Recent changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act give the immigration minister authority to invite economic immigrants based on these attributes.

There are now six distinct categories under which candidates may qualify for consideration:

• Healthcare
• Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions
• Trades, including carpenters, plumbers, and contractors
• Transport
• Agriculture and agri-food
• Strong French-language proficiency

By implementing category-based selection draws, Express Entry aims to efficiently identify and invite candidates who possess the skills and attributes most in demand by the Canadian labor market, thereby advancing the country's economic objectives.

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is an application system by IRCC for selecting permanent residency candidates based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The CRS evaluates attributes like work experience, occupation, language ability, education, and age. Candidates upload their profiles to the IRCC website, receiving a CRS score and ranking. Those with the highest scores are more likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
