 VO Visas || Express Entry: CRS drops to 397 in surprise draw


Canada's newest Canadian Experience Class draw has the second-lowest score requirement of 2021 so far.

Canada held an unusual Express Entry draw. Not only did it come out of the blue, eligible candidates only needed a score of 397.

We have not seen an Express Entry draw with a score requirement this low since the historic February 13 draw where the cutoff score was just 75.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 1,842 candidates who may be eligible for permanent residence through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

IRCC published the cutoff time for the tie-break rule, as per administrative requirements. It does not necessarily mean there was an actual tie. Candidates who had the minimum score of 397 were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry profile before April 24, 2021 at 12:09:24 UTC.

Overview of Express Entry in 2021

There have been 68,317 candidates invited so far in 2021. The number of invitations issued this year is far out-pacing last year’s rate. This could be because IRCC is holding larger draws, sometimes up to 6,000. Plus, 0n February 13, IRCC invited every single CEC candidate to apply for permanent residence.

As part of an effort to admit 401,000 new permanent residents this year amid travel restrictions, IRCC has consistently held draws that target candidates who are likely already in Canada. Both CEC and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates have high numbers of candidates in Canada.

The score requirements are vastly different in CEC and PNP draws. CEC draws typically require lower scores because these candidates are not competing with other candidates for invitations. As a result, the larger draw sizes allow candidates with lower scores to be invited. The previous CEC-only draw only required candidates to have a score of 401.

PNP candidates automatically get an 600 points, which means their score requirements are considerably higher.

Canada & Australia Immigration Plan  Canada and Australia have pursued completely different immigration plans in recent years—a trend which has continued during the coronavirus crisis. Australia Sydney Immigration is critical to the economic health of both Canada and Australia. In recent decades, the two countries have become increasingly reliant on new permanent residents and temporary visa holders such as international students and foreign workers to support their population, labour force, and economic growth. International students are a useful proxy to help us understand the economic benefits of immigration in both countries. International students contribute some $22 billion annually to the Canadian economy, supporting 170,000 jobs in the process. They contribute $39 billion to Australia’s economy each year and support 240,000 jobs.
