Candidate Invited: 3,750 Invitation to apply (ITA)

Minimum CRS Cut-off: 441

Tie breaker rule: 2017 Dec 21 at 12:14:21 UTC or 5:44 IST

The  Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has invited 3,750 candidates who had a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 441 and those who have submitted their Express Entry profiles before 31st December 2017 at 12:14:21 UTC to apply for Canadian permanent residence (PR). 

CRS score is one point lower than the previous round on 11th July 2018 and the same number of Invitation to Apply (ITAs) have been issued in the last three draws, held on 13th June, 25th June 2018 and 11 July 2018.

ITA Issued and CRS Score in Express Entry Draws 2018

This year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued a total 47,200 ITAs and its admission targets for 2018 and 2019 are 74,900 and 81,400 immigrantes respectively.

For 2018, the draw size of 3,750 has become a well-established trend and expected to increase above 3,750 in future. If IRCC continues to large draws or more frequent draws, this may also result in a reduction of cut-off CRS score.
