On April 26, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
(IRCC) held its seventh All-Program draw of 2023. In
yesterday's draw, 3,500 invitations to apply (ITAs) were issued
to candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
score of 483 or higher. IRCC has now invited 45,215 Express Entry
candidates in 2023.
An all-program draw considers every candidate in the Express
Entry pool, rather than the program-specific rounds and invites
these candidates to apply for permanent residence based on their
CRS score. Candidates at or above the minimum CRS score in the pool
will be invited to apply for permanent residence.
IRCC applied its tie-breaking rule with the timestamp of April
22, 2023 19:46:58 UTC, meaning candidates with a score of 483 were
invited to apply if they had submitted their Express Entry profile
before the timestamp.
