Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted a new Express Entry draw. This was the first invitation round conducted by the department in August.

If you have been invited in this latest Express Entry draw, you will have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence (PR) application to the IRCC. If this timeframe passes, your invitation will no longer be valid.

The latest Express Entry draw was held on August 13, 2024. A total of 763 candidates across a PNP-specific draw were invited. The minimum CRS score required to be eligible for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) was 690.

  • Number of invitations issued: 763
  • Rank required to be invited to apply: 763 or above

Express Entry draws have followed an unusual pattern in 2024. Usually, IRCC conducts Express Entry draws every two weeks - on a Wednesday. This has made it difficult to predict exactly when the next draw will occur. However, the trend of issuing more invitations with lower CRS scores is also expected to be carried out in August.
