Canada Update : Express Entry Draw # 310

In the latest Express Entry draw on August 15, 2024, 2,000 French-speaking candidates received invitations under a category-based draw. To be eligible, invited candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 394. This draw marked the lowest CRS score for a French-specific draw since March 26 of this year. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted several Express Entry draws this year. If you received an invitation in this latest draw, you have 60 days to submit a comprehensive permanent residency (PR) application to the IRCC.

The following information outlines the quantity of invitations issued and the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score:

• Type of draw: French language proficiency (Version 1)
• Number of invitations issued: 2,000
• Rank required to be invited to apply: 2,000 or above
• Date and time of round: August 15, 2024, at 15:11:54 UTC
• CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 394
• Tie-breaking rule: July 07, 2024, at 09:46:10 UTC

If multiple candidates have the lowest score, the CRS score cut-off will be determined by the submission date and time of their Express Entry profiles.

Canada Update : Express Entry Draw # 310

Express Entry Invitations till now in 2024

July 2024 recorded the highest number of invitations issued in any month this year, leading the board for the number of draws. Here are the monthly totals:

• January: 3,280
• February: 16,110
• March: 7,305
• April: 9,275
• May: 5,985
• June: 1,499
• July: 25,125
• August: 5,963 (after three draws)

While the high number of invitations in July is promising for Express Entry candidates, it may lead to longer processing times for those who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Comparison of Recent Draws

Number of Invitations:

• August 15, 2024: 2,000 invitations
• July 18, 2024: 1,800 invitations
• July 8, 2024: 3,200 invitations
• April 24, 2024: 1,400 invitations

The latest draw on August 15, 2024, saw a slight increase in invitations compared to the July 18, 2024, draw. However, it invited fewer French speakers than the July 8, 2024, draw, which had 3,200 invitations. The 2,000 invitations in the latest draw are closer to the average size of recent draws.

Cutoff Scores

• August 15, 2024: 394
• July 18, 2024: 400
• July 8, 2024: 420
• April 24, 2024: 410

The cutoff score of 394 in the latest draw is lower than in the previous three draws. This continues the trend of decreasing CRS scores, with the most recent draw showing a more significant drop compared to the July draws. This could indicate a less competitive pool, particularly among French-speaking candidates.
