The latest Express Entry Draw took place on October 12th, 2022, which was the 233rd Express Entry Draw. This draw was not specified toward a certain program (all programs). The draw offered 4,250 ITA to those with a cut-off score of 500.

Express Entry Draw 233 Summary:

Date of Draw: October 12, 2022

Number of Invitations Issued: 4,250

Minimum CRS:  500

Program Specified: Non-specified

Tie-breaking rule: October 10, 2022 17:10:53 UTC

An all-program draw considers every candidate in the Express Entry pool, rather than the program-specific rounds, and invites these candidates to apply for permanent residence based on their CRS score. Candidates at or above the minimum CRS score in the pool will be invited to apply for permanent residence.

What is Express Entry and how can I apply?

Express Entry is a system used by the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residency. Express Entry uses a point-based system, the CRS to rank candidates’ profiles. The system manages three main programs:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW);
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST); and
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

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.

When will the next Express Entry draw take place?

According to IRCC, all-program Express Entry draws will continue to be held on a bi-weekly basis. Following this schedule, the next anticipated all-program Express Entry draw #234 will be October 26th, 2022. 

It is likely that the CRS cut-off will likely continue to slightly decline as the IRCC continues to work to address backlog issues which have been a priority since resuming all program draws.

Changes coming in Express Entry

The exception for physicians is one of the first changes to Express Entry that can be expected to continue into 2023. Bill C-19 received Royal Assent in Parliament in June, and will give IRCC more authority to target Express Entry candidates based on specific work experience, education, or language abilities, rather than the current system of issuing ITAs to a wide range of candidates solely on their CRS scores.
