Express Entry: Canada holds largest all-program draw ever

The seventh Express Entry draw of 2023 was conducted by IRCC today.

Invitations were sent to 7,000 candidates by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 490.

This draw’s ITA total surpasses the previous high of 5,500 applicants invited in the most recent all-program draws on January 18. Candidates from all three Express Entry programs—the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class—are taken into account in an all-program draw (CEC).
