IRCC usually announces Express Entry draws on a biweekly basis but didn’t hold any rounds of invitations for 5 weeks between October 26 and December 5.
However, IRCC conducted three back-to-back draws between December 6th and 8th, inviting 11,650 profiles to apply for permanent residency and now there are four more draws this week.
This is a sigh of relief for Express Entry candidates in the pool but the CRS cutoff score is still high.
We can expect more targeted rounds of invitations this week since the number of invitations was low in the Express Entry draw today.
A total of 15,045 ITAs have been issued since December 6 in 7 Express Entry draws, as listed below:
