IRCC’s most recent Express Entry draw, which occurred today, saw the department conduct its first category-based draw for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) candidates in 2024. This is IRCC’s first STEM draw in 2023. During today’s draw, IRCC issued 4,500 Invitations to apply (ITAs) to eligible candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking SystemScore of 491 on the CRS.
The IRCC’s April 11 draw comes after a general lottery yesterday (April 10 2024), where the department distributed 1,280 ITAs for eligible candidates. The minimum CRS score was 549 for the April 10, 2024 draw.
Note: This is a developing tale. CanadaVisa will update later this week if IRCC conducts any more Express Entry draws.
Express Entry
Express Entry is the name of IRCC’s application management system for immigration applications made to three specific economic-class permanent residence (PR) programs. The programs managed by this system are the Federal Skilled Worker Program(FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program(FSTP) Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
Express Entry is available through the system. IRCC conducts three types of draws: general, program-specific, and category-based.
General and program-specific express entry draws
IRCC’s first two draw types have been around since the department first introduced the Express Entry system in 2015. These draws are primarily focused on the Canadian immigration candidates with the highest CRS scores.
These scores are unique numerical values assigned to all Express-Entry eligible candidates based on a variety of human capital factors (age, education, work experience etc.).
Once the Express Entry candidate confirms their eligibility for at least one of the three Express Entry-managed programs and creates an online profile with IRCC, they will receive their CRS score. At this time, they must then wait for IRCC to conduct its next Express Entry draw to see if they have met the criteria* and whether they will receive an ITA.
*To receive an ITA from IRCC, candidates must have a CRS score above the cut-off score determined by IRCC for that given draw
Note: Express Entry candidates can only apply for PR by submitting ITAs.
Category-BasedInstant Entry Draws
First conducted in June 2023, IRCC first introduced category-based draws in May last year as a way to attract Canadian immigration candidates with specific types of work experience and proficiencies, which the department deemed to be “in-demand” based on Canada’s labour market and demographic needs.
IRCC confirmed it would continue to use the same six categories for its category-based draws in 2024.
- Work experience in Healthcare
- Work experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
- Work experience in Trades
- Transport Work Experience
- Work experience in Agriculture and Agri-Food
- Strong French language proficiency (defined as a “minimum score of 7 in all 4 language abilities on the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens” (NCLC)).
