On the date of 12 Oct, 2022 Canada hold its all-program Express Entry draw. Since they resumed on July 6, it was the eighth all-program draw.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued to invitations to apply (ITA’s) 4,250. Candidates were eligible to obtain invites from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), all programs that operate under the Express Entry system. Candidates required minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score at least 500 points.
Beginning in December 2020, Express Entry all-program drawings were suspended for a period of more than 18 months. Only those who qualified for the CEC or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) received invitations to apply throughout the hiatus (ITAs). Due to a backlog of applications brought on by COVID-19-related travel restrictions, the draws were put on hold. The IRCC also stopped holding lotteries for the CEC in September 2021.
Lower CRS scores were continued in today’s draw. It increases the number of candidates who are qualified to acquire ITAs through Express Entry by reducing the CRS score. Since drawings began again on July 6, this has been the pattern. The score for that draw was 557, and it dropped by eight or nine points every time for the first five draws. Smaller drops of six points occurred in the two most recent draws on September 14 and September 28.
