Canada's Express Entry Sees Shift in Candidate Pool and Draw Types

By Jessica Thakur, September 05, 2024

After a bustling August and a historic number of draws in July, Canada's Express Entry system is undergoing changes in both its candidate pool composition and the newcomers receiving invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence (PR). This article breaks down the current pool composition and tracks cut-off scores for recent draws to inform potential candidates.

Current State of the Express Entry Pool

August witnessed five Express Entry draws, issuing over 10,000 ITAs as Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) returned to bi-weekly draws. These draws reflect changes announced by Immigration Minister Marc Miller, emphasizing "domestic" draws (CEC and PNP) to prioritize temporary residents already in Canada for PR. This approach aims to reduce housing burdens and meet annual immigration targets. Additionally, Canada is prioritizing Francophone immigration, with dedicated draws and increased allocation targets for Francophone immigrants outside Quebec.

Distribution of Scores in the Pool

As of August 27th, the Express Entry pool's score distribution is as follows:

  • 0-300: 5,491

  • 301-350: 24,396

  • 351-400: 52,363

  • 401-410: 10,155

  • 411-420: 10,493

  • 421-430: 9,814

  • 431-440: 11,142

  • 441-450: 10,259

  • 451-460: 10,779

  • 461-470: 12,676

  • 471-480: 14,722

  • 481-490: 12,038

  • 491-500: 10,918

  • 501-600: 9,764

  • 601-1200: 127

Key Observations

  • Half of the candidates have a CRS score of 420 or lower.

  • The pool's composition reflects recent policy changes, emphasizing in-Canada applicants and Francophone immigration.

  • Candidates are advised to stay informed about Express Entry trends and tailor their strategies accordingly.

As Canada's immigration landscape evolves, staying informed about Express Entry developments is crucial for aspiring immigrants.
