If there was a tie between candidates, the cut-off was based on the date and time their Express Entry profile was submitted. To learn more on this topic, visit this section on our website. In this draw, candidates from all Express Entry aligned Federal Programs were eligible. That is, the Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC), Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC),  Canadian Experience Class (CEC) & enhanced provincial nominee programs.

The below chart shows the CRS Cut-off scores for the last 10 EE draws:

Like we discussed in our [related] previous article, the current cut-off CRS trend gives hope to the many who have been waiting to see the cut-off scores come below 500. This mainly includes individuals who are below 35 years of age, have good education, work experience, as well as language scores in English and/or French.

What is Express Entry (EE)?

Express Entry is an electronic selection system used by the Federal as well as Provincial governments of Canada [to select], as well as designated Canadian employers [to nominate] candidates for Canadian permanent residence under the following immigration programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC)

• Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC)

• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

• Enhanced [EE-aligned] Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Candidates eligible for any of the above programs are given a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the Express Entry Pool. It is based on their Core/Human capital factors such as age, work experience, education, and language ability in English and/or French, etc. And, based on scores, candidates are periodically invited (or nominated) for permanent residence.
