Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted its third Express Entry draw of the week. This invitation round follows the category-based draw held yesterday and a PNP-specific draw held earlier this week on Tuesday.
Express Entry draws are generally conducted every two weeks, typically on a Wednesday. But these draws have had a very unusual pattern in 2024.
The Express Entry latest draw held on July 05, 2024, saw invitations being issued to 3,750 candidates under the Healthcare Occupations category. Invited candidates required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 445 to be eligible.
Type of draw: Healthcare Occupations
Candidates invited to this Express Entry latest draw will have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residency (PR) to the IRCC. If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the CRS score cut-off will be based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
