All-Program Draw Issues 3,250 ITAs with CRS Cut-Off of 510
On September 14, 2022, IRCC conducted Express Entry Draw
#231, continuing with All-Program invitations. In this round, 3,250 Invitations
to Apply (ITAs) were issued, and the minimum CRS score dropped again to 510.
This was one of the most encouraging draws of the year so
far. With the highest number of ITAs issued since the restart of All-Program
rounds and a steadily falling CRS score, Express Entry was clearly moving back
toward full strength.
ITAs increased from 2,750 to 3,250, showing growing intake
capacity. CRS dropped from 516 to 510, opening doors for even more candidates
and the system was becoming more accessible to mid-range CRS profiles.
This draw brought new hope to Federal Skilled Worker, CEC,
and FST candidates who had been waiting patiently. Many profiles that were once
out of reach were now within striking distance of an ITA.
It also signaled that IRCC was working aggressively to
reduce backlogs and meet Canada’s immigration targets for 2022 and beyond.
At A&M Canadian Immigration Law Corporation, we help
candidates to stay ahead of CRS trends, optimize Express Entry profiles and
prepare early for fast PR processing.
