Changes In Express Entry Draw
On JUNE 28, 2017 a total of 3,409 candidates for immigration to Canada have received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the latest Express Entry Draw.
Candidates in the Express Entry pool with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 449 or higher are now in a position to submit an application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
This is the first draw to occur since recent improvements to the CRS, which came into effect on June 6, introduced additional points for candidates with a sibling in Canada. Candidates with French ability also received a boost in their score as a result of these improvements.
