What a fantastic start to the new year! The very first Express Entry Draw of 2024 has just taken place, and it sent out a whopping 1,510 invitations to apply for permanent residency (PR) in Canada. This round of invitations was a general draw, which means that candidates from all programs were eligible to receive an invitation. And guess what? The lucky recipients were those with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 546 or above! What an exciting opportunity for those individuals to start a new chapter of their lives in beautiful Canada.
In comparison to the Express Entry draw on December 18, 2023, the CRS cut-off score has increased by 4 points. Furthermore, the number of invites increased by merely 185 as compared to the previous similar general draw.
Key Express Entry Draw Expectations For 2024
All program Express Entry draws include all Express Entry profiles under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and Federal Skilled Trades (FSTP).
Furthermore, profiles with a provincial nomination in any of the aforementioned categories are also taken into account.
According to the CRS score distribution of candidates in the Express Entry pool as of January 10, 2024, the next general Express Entry draw cutoff is expected to hover around 535–540 if the same number of invitations are sent by IRCC.
Express Entry processing times
- Canadian Experience Class: 5 months
- Federal Skilled Worker Program: 5 months
- Federal Skilled Trades Program: Not Enough Data
- Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) via Express Entry: 8 months
If you are a candidate for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and have already been accepted into the Express Entry pool, you are eligible for all “no program specified” or general draws, as well as any other category-based rounds of invitations, if you meet the necessary criteria.
