In the latest round of Express Entry invitations, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 800 invitations to candidates. With a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 505, these invitations mark a significant milestone in the ongoing immigration process. This blog post provides an overview of the recent Express Entry draws and highlights the key details of the latest round.
Six Rounds of Invitations in Two Weeks:
Over the course of two weeks, IRCC conducted six rounds of invitations, demonstrating their commitment to processing applications efficiently.

This marked the fourth consecutive day of draws, showcasing the dedication of IRCC to facilitating immigration opportunities.
Noteworthy Draws and Categories:
The draws conducted in this period encompassed various categories and occupations, highlighting the diversity of skills and expertise desired in Canada. On July 6, IRCC issued 1,500 invitations to healthcare professionals with a cut-off CRS score of 463, which was expected given the demand in the healthcare sector. The draw on July 4, however, surprised candidates by being an all-program draw where the 700 invited candidates needed a minimum CRS score of 511, the highest requirement for any all-program draw in 2023.
Another significant draw occurred on July 5, targeting candidates with work experience in select science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) occupations. IRCC invited 500 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 486. This draw was anticipated and announced by IRCC a week in advance, reflecting their transparent approach.
Recap of Previous Weeks’ Invitations: In the preceding week, IRCC conducted two rounds of invitations. On June 27, an all-program draw took place, inviting 4,300 candidates from various Express Entry managed programs, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades Program. The minimum CRS score required was 486. On June 28, IRCC issued the first-ever invitations for category-based selection. A total of 500 candidates with work experience in healthcare occupations and a minimum CRS score of 476 were invited to apply for permanent residence.
