Canadian federal government has announced its #249th express entry draw for new immigrants
Hold on to your seats, folks!
The most recent Express Entry Draw, #249, is a shocker! On May 24, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (I.R.C.C.) issued a whopping 4,800 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) — a stunning 37% increase from the last draw with no specific program.
The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required to receive an ITA was 488 — a mere 2-point increase from the previous draw! Skilled workers, international students, and expatriates, can you believe it? If you’re in the Express Entry pool, keep a close eye on your I.R.C.C. secure account and email inbox — your invitation could be waiting for you!
