New Express Entry Draw 2022

New Express Entry Draw: 2,000 candidates invited

2,000 candidates were invited to apply for permanent residence in the sixteenth Express Entry draw of the year. The number of invitations to apply (ITAs) keeps going up and the CRS score continues going down.

The August 3rd draw didn’t target a specific program. This means that candidates from the Canadian experience class (CEC) or Federal skilled worker class (FSWP) had the potential to be invited. Moreover, invited candidates had a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 533 points. It is 9 points less than the previous draw. Also, Canada issued 250 more invitations in this draw compared to the previous round of 1,750 invitations.

In this round, the tie-break rule applied to candidates who submitted their profiles before January 06, 2022, at 14:29:50 UTC. Invited candidates now have 60 days to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
