The sixth IRCC Express Entry draw of the year specifically targeted Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates conducted on August 13, 2024. This draw, known as round #308, saw the issuance of 763 Invitations to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residency.
Key Highlights of the Draw
In this recent PNP-targeted draw, the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required to receive an ITA was 690 points. This score represents a slight increase of four points from the previous PNP draw held on July 30, 2024. The tie-breaking rule applied for this draw was April 26, 2024, at 10:59:30 UTC, meaning that candidates with the lowest CRS scores who submitted their profiles before this date were prioritized.
Current Status of IRCC Express Entry Draw
As of August 13, 2024, there are 207,319 profiles registered in the IRCC Express Entry draw pool. This significant number underscores the competitive nature of the Canadian immigration process and highlights the importance of having a strong CRS score. For the year 2024, Canada has already issued 69,342 invitations through regular Express Entry draws, reflecting the country’s ongoing commitment to welcoming skilled immigrants.
What This Means for PNP Candidates
The increase in the CRS cut-off score in this draw indicates a rising demand for skilled workers through the Provincial Nominee Program. Candidates with high scores or those who have received a provincial nomination are in a stronger position to secure an ITA. For those not yet invited, it’s crucial to stay updated on future draws and continuously work on improving their CRS score.
Preparing for Future Draws
For prospective applicants, keeping an eye on the trends of recent IRCC Express Entry draws can provide valuable insights into what might be required for future draws. Regularly updating your profile, improving language test scores, and gaining additional qualifications can enhance your chances of receiving an ITA.
