Summary:
April 29, 2021 - Canada has conducted a new Express Entry draw, issuing 381 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to Provincial
Nominee Program candidates.
The April 28 draw featured a minimum Comprehensive Ranking
System (CRS) score of 717, 36 points lower than the previous PNP
draw.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has now
issued 55,771 ITAs through 14 draws in 2021, including eight PNP
draws totalling 3,063 ITAs, and six Canadian Experience Class draws
issuing 52,708 ITAs. The CEC draws include an all-time record draw

During the coronavirus crisis, IRCC has switched to draws
focused on PNP and CEC candidates, given they are more likely to
already be in the country as temporary residents.
