The latest Express Entry draw sent out 3,000 invitations to apply for permanent residency in a ‘no program specified’ rounds of invitations on Tuesday, September, 26, 2023.
IRCC announced the no-program specified Express Entry draws consecutively in two weeks, this draw had a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cutoff score of 504, a little above 500. Fingers crossed for the cut-off score of the coming weeks as we hope it would be less than 500 considering the fact that the latest draw was 27 points lesser than the previous draw.

We hope that IRCC will continue the no program specified and targeted draws in the upcoming weeks. For the category-based draws, the CRS cutoff is expected to be low for Transport, Agriculture, Trades, and Francophile draws compared to STEM and healthcare occupations. We advise eligible candidates to create an Express Entry profile, even if their occupation is not on the list of targeted categories or also apply for Provincial Nominee Program.
