All-Program Draw Issues 3,750 ITAs with CRS Cut-Off of 504
On September 28, 2022, IRCC held Express Entry Draw #232, continuing the All-Program selection trend. In this round, 3,750 Invitations to
Apply (ITAs) were issued, and the minimum CRS score dropped further to 504.
This was one of the most optimistic draws of 2022. With the
largest number of ITAs so far and a CRS score that had fallen into the low 500s, Express Entry was clearly entering a more accessible phase for skilled
workers.
● ITAs increased
again from 3,250 to 3,750
● CRS dropped from
510 to 504, making PR realistic for many more candidates
● IRCC showed strong
commitment to meeting immigration targets
For Federal Skilled Worker, CEC, and FST candidates with CRS
scores in the low 500s, this draw was a breakthrough moment. Profiles that had
been waiting in the pool for months were finally seeing real movement.
It also reinforced the importance of staying active in the
pool, updating profiles, and being ready with documents once an ITA is issued.
Draw #232 showed that by fall 2022, Express Entry was fully
back on track, inviting more candidates and lowering CRS cut-offs with every
round.
