On March 12, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held Express Entry Draw #288, inviting 2,850 candidates in a general category round. The minimum
CRS score required for this draw was 525, showing a notable dip compared to
several earlier general draws in 2024.
General draws continue to select candidates from all core Express Entry programs, including
the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). With a CRS cut-off of 525, this round
offered improved chances for applicants with strong language scores, skilled
work experience, and higher education credentials. For individuals aiming to
secure an Invitation to Apply, monitoring these score trends and maintaining a
carefully optimized Express Entry profile can significantly enhance the likelihood of selection.
A&M Canadian Immigration Law Corporation is committed to helping applicants
understand their CRS standing, strengthen their profiles, and navigate the Express Entry process with clarity and confidence.
