Canada host first Federal Skilled Workers-only draw in Express Entry history

The fourth Express Entry draw of 2023 was held today by IRCC.

Invitations were sent to 3,300 applicants having a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 489 by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Since Express Entry launched in 2015, the draw was only eligible to applicants to the Federal Skilled Worker Program. Following the results on February 1 in which only applicants who had already secured provincial nomination received an ITA, this was the second program-specific draw of 2023.
