Canada’s new Express Entry draw marks the largest draw ever. A total of 4,500 Express Entry candidates were invited with a minimum score of 471 in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
The CRS score cut-off is the same as the Express Entry draw before September 30. Since September 2, IRCC has held express entry draws of 4,200 every two weeks. The Immigration Department has not conducted a draw of this size since February.
Express Entry is an application management system for three federal economy class programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.
Applicants to these programs, as well as some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), receive a score based on the CRS. Points are awarded to the express entry profile based on the candidate’s human capital factors such as age, education, work experience, and English or French language skills.
Top-rated applicants receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian Permanent Residence as part of an Express Entry invitation round. In today’s draw, Canada invited the top 4,500 applicants to apply for permanent residence.
In the event of a tie between the candidates, IRCC applies the tie-breaker rule. Thus, for this draw, applicants who had a CRS score of 471 or higher, had to have submitted their Express Entry profile before September 1, 2020, at 12:11:23 UTC to receive an invitation.
This year, the CRS requirement has typically exceeded 470 for all draws in the program. The Federal Skilled Trades Only Program draws on August 6 invited tradespeople with CRS score 415, and previous draws in the Canadian Experience Only category have fallen into the 440s. PNP Only draws have higher requirements because Express Entry applicants who receive a provincial nomination automatically receive an additional 600 CRS points. PNPs provides an alternative pathway to PR Visa to Express entry candidates who have a lower CRS score.
With the latest express entry draw the total number of ITAs issued in 2020 to 82,850. Canada is on the right track to meet the target set by IRCC in March for the number of ITAs issued in this year. This year promises to be another record year for Express Entry, as the number of ITAs issued to date is the highest ever.
At the end of the month, Canada will announce the new immigration levels. The immigration level plan will show the admission targets for all classes between the years 2021 and 2023. These levels will give us a snapshot of the number of immigrants Canada expects to admit through Express Entry next year.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
