Ottawa issued more invitations under the latest all-program Express Entry draw on March 29, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued another 7,000 Invitations to Apply (ITA) to candidates under Express Entry. In this draw, IRCC continued inviting candidates under all immigration programs. 

In round #245, the cut-off score was 481 points, three points fewer than in the previous all-program draw. It was the lowest all-program CRS score since December 2020. The tie-breaking rule for this round was February 14, 2023, at 07:35:00 UTC. 

As of March 29, 2023, there are 234,947 profiles registered in the Express Entry pool, 5,199 fewer than the previous update. In 2023, Canada issued 37,559 ITAs through Express Entry.

Since this is the second consecutive week that IRCC has invited Express Entry candidates, the draw is surprising. Express Entry draws usually happen every 2 weeks. The 7,000 ITAs constitute the second-biggest Express Entry draw size ever after only the record-breaking CEC-only draw that took place in February 2021. It is also tied for the largest all-program draw ever.
