The end year EE draw drops CRS to 468 and PNP updates for you
This post reflects the latest updates on federal and provincial immigration invitations.
Express Entry draw #170 for everyone
IRCC invited 5,000 people to apply in their latest Express Entry draw on December 23, 2020. They didn’t limit the invitations to a specific program. Therefore, people who had applied under CEC, FSWC and FSTC could receive invitations. The lowest CRS score was 468, which was slightly lower than the previous score of 469.
