Express Entry Draw #163

Sep 16, 2020

This is an all-program draw, meaning that candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programs, including Provincial Nominees, were considered. In the September 16 Express Entry draw for immigration to Canada, 4,200 candidates will be issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score cut-off threshold for this draw was 472 points. The tie-breaking rule for this draw was applied to profiles at 472 points submitted after March 09, 2020 at 13:03:40 UTC.

This all-program draw represents the first back-to-back all-program draws since COVID-19 closed Canada’s borders. It may suggest that Express Entry is moving back to pre-COVID patterns, but only time will tell for sure.
