Summary:
October 3, 2018 - Canada immigration authorities have matched the
largest Express Entry draw of 2018 by issuing 3,900 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates
across all programs.
The October 3 draw saw a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of
445, four points higher than the previous all-program draw.
A small increase was expected given the previous draw was
program-specific. Each time Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada conducts a program-specific draw, the CRS score increases in
the next all-program draw.
This is the second draw of 2018 in which 3,900 candidates have
been invited. The draw brings the total ITAs issued in 2018 to
66,400, as IRCC works towards its high-skilled immigration target
of 74,900.
