Express Entry Draw - Latest Figures 2022

Express Entry draw figures for the September 28 draw are below.

Express Entry draw invitations have increased to pre-pandemic levels. This is excellent news for FSW and CEC candidates waiting for the score to drop.

The September 28 Express Entry draw considered candidates in all Express Entry programs: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST). In the September 28 Express Entry draw for immigration to Canada, 3,750 candidates were issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score cut-off threshold for this draw was 504 points.

Please note: It can take up to 24 hours for an ITA to appear in your IRCC account.

Canada is not launching a new immigration program for workers and students

Following a motion in parliament last spring, Canada’s Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser, was expected to launch a new Canadian immigration program for workers and students already in Canada. However, last week Minister Fraser announced that this new program will not be happening.

Instead, Canada’s immigration department will be adjusting and optimizing existing programs and processes in order to improve overall immigration.

Of particular note to Express Entry candidates, the government will be reforming the Express Entry system in 2023. This will include adding more flexibility in immigration selection tools. This could mean that draws will target candidates with experience in certain occupations — a policy shift that was hinted at in government communications earlier in the year as well.

The strategy also states that the immigration department will be reviewing how many CRS score points are awarded for each factor, “particularly points awarded for Canadian work experience and education, language proficiency, and a job offer.” The changes to Express Entry could have major impacts on who is invited through the system.

The Express Entry Year-End Report

The most recent Express Entry Year-End Report was published in December 2021, but it covers activity from the previous year: 2020. We read the entire report (so you don’t have to!) and wrote a series of short articles on the highlights.

Check out the following summaries to learn more about the topics you care about most:

About the Express Entry CRS

The Comprehensive Ranking System is a score out of 1,200 used to benchmark federal economic applicants against one another. It’s a part of the Express Entry system, which was established in January 2015 to process Canadian permanent residence applications.

The score is used as a cut-off point in Express Entry draws. It is designed to project a candidate’s likelihood of being economically successful in Canada.

To enter the pool, candidates must be eligible under either the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Canadian Experience Class, or Federal Skilled Trades Class. Candidates who obtain a provincial nomination through one of the Express Entry-aligned Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams receive 600 additional CRS points and an ITA at a subsequent Express Entry draw from the pool.

A single candidate can earn up to 260 points for high proficiency in English and French, while a couple can earn up to 270 points. Moving2Canada readers can now avail of a seven-day free trial of online language tutorials to prepare for their approved language test. Simply select to Learn English or Learn French and complete the online form.

If you are in the Express Entry pool but are yet to receive an invitation to apply, please visit our page on tips to improve your CRS score.

Are there any alternatives to Express Entry?

When will the next Express Entry draw take place?

There is no public schedule of future Express Entry draws, and so it is not possible to know for certain exactly when the next Express Entry draw may take place. However, IRCC has historically tended to conduct Express Entry draws about every two weeks, and often these draws take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. However, Express Entry draws can, and do, take place on other days of the week, and sometimes there is a longer or shorter gap between one Express Entry draw and the subsequent, or previous, draw.

The quickest way to find out when an Express Entry draw has taken place is to register a Moving2Canada profile and sign up for our newsletter updates.
