Understanding How Express Entry Invitations Are Issued

Canada’s Express Entry system follows a clear, step-by-step approach when inviting individuals to apply for permanent residency.

Here’s how the process generally unfolds:

  • Type of Draw Chosen: First, immigration officials decide what kind of draw will take place—whether it’s open to all candidates, limited to a specific program, or focused on a particular category like job type or language skills.

  • Number of Invitations: A target number of candidates is set, based on current immigration goals.

  • Candidate Selection: Profiles in the Express Entry pool are ranked by score, and those with the highest points who meet the criteria for that draw are chosen.

  • Invitations Sent Out: Selected applicants receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. From there, they have 60 days to submit a complete application.

What Affects Each Draw?

A few key factors shape how each round of invitations plays out:

  • Immigration Goals: Canada plans to welcome close to 400,000 newcomers each year, with a large portion coming through Express Entry.

  • Workforce Demands: Sometimes, draws are tailored to specific industries or skill sets needed in the country.

  • CRS Score Thresholds: The minimum score needed to receive an ITA can vary depending on how many candidates are in the pool and the type of draw being held.

April 29, 2025

Dear future neighbour,​

On April 28, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted its most recent Express Entry draw, issuing 421 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

See below details of the April 28 Draw

  • Draw Category: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

  • Number of ITAs Issued: 421

  • Minimum CRS Score Required: 727

  • Date of Draw: April 28, 2025

  • Tie-breaking Rule: 9 September 2024

This draw marks the second PNP-specific round in April, following an earlier draw on April 14, which invited 825 candidates with a higher minimum CRS score of 764 . The decrease in the CRS cut-off score reflects the broader impact of recent policy changes on the Express Entry system.

See below summary of Express Entry Draws in 2025

Date Draw Type Number of ITAs Cut-off CRS score
April 28 Provincial Nominee Program 421 727

March 17 Provincial Nominee Program 536 736
March 6 French language proficiency 4,500 410
March 3 Provincial Nominee Program 725 667

January 23 Canadian Experience Class 4,000 527
January 8 Canadian Experience Class 1,350 542
January 7 Provincial Nominee Program 471 793

Impact of CRS Adjustments

In March 2025, IRCC eliminated the additional CRS points previously awarded for arranged employment supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This policy shift led to a significant drop in CRS scores for many candidates, with reductions ranging from 50 to 200 points . The change aims to level the playing field for applicants without job offers, emphasizing other factors such as language proficiency, education, and work experience.

Overview of Express Entry Draws in 2025

So far in 2025, IRCC has issued a total of 31,929 ITAs through various Express Entry draws. These include category-based selections focusing on French language proficiency and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates. Notably, a draw on March 21 invited 7,500 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 379, highlighting IRCC’s commitment to attracting French-speaking immigrants.​

Dear future neighbour,

On April 14, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted a new round of invitations through the Express Entry system, targeting candidates under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

This latest draw marks the first one for April and follows a series of notable developments in Canada’s immigration landscape. It comes shortly after the March 21 category-based selection for French-speaking candidates, and the March 17 PNP-specific draw. Importantly, it is also the first draw since the removal of CRS points previously awarded for arranged employment—a change that may significantly impact the scores and competitiveness of candidates in the pool.

March 25, 2025

Dear future neighbour,

In an important update for potential immigrants, Canada has announced that, effective March 25, 2025, candidates applying through the Express Entry system will no longer receive extra Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points for having a job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This change was confirmed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in December 2024.

Why the Change?

Previously, candidates with a valid LMIA-backed job offer can earn up to 200 additional CRS points, depending on the type of job. These bonus points have often helped candidates secure Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency. However, the Canadian government has decided to remove these points to increase fairness in the immigration system and reduce the potential for fraud.

Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marc Miller, explained that removing the bonus points will discourage candidates from buying LMIAs to boost their CRS scores, ultimately creating a more transparent process.

How Will This Affect Candidates?

The decision to eliminate these bonus points will have an impact on both new and existing candidates in the Express Entry pool. Those with LMIA-supported job offers will see their CRS scores drop, which could lower their chances of receiving an ITA. On the other hand, candidates without an LMIA-backed job offer may have a better chance as the overall CRS score distribution adjusts.

For example, candidates who have been relying on a job offer to boost their points will need to focus on strengthening other areas of their profile to stay competitive.

What Other Areas Can Applicants Look At?

Without the LMIA-based points, candidates will need to explore other ways to improve their CRS scores. Candidates are assigned a score out of 1200 based on various factors, including:

  • Age: Younger candidates generally score higher, as younger applicants are seen as having a longer potential work life.

  • Education: Higher levels of education, like a master’s degree or doctorate, contribute to a stronger CRS score.

  • Language proficiency: Improving your language test results, such as IELTS or CELPIP, can add significant points.

  • Work experience: Relevant work experience, especially Canadian experience, adds valuable points to your CRS score.

Additional factors through which candidates can score extra points include:

  • French language skills: Candidates with proficiency in French can earn extra points, especially if they are bilingual.

  • Post-secondary education in Canada: Having completed studies at a Canadian institution can add extra points to your profile.

  • Having a sibling living in Canada as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident: This factor can give applicants additional CRS points if they have a close family connection in the country.

  • Provincial/territorial nomination: A provincial or territorial nomination can award 600 points, significantly increasing your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Looking Ahead

While this change may pose a challenge for some applicants, it opens up new opportunities for others and ensures that the system remains equitable for all.

Candidates applying through Express Entry should begin reviewing their profiles and consider strengthening other aspects to adapt to the new system.

Express Entry is Canada’s primary system for managing applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. Candidates are assessed and ranked based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency in English or French. The highest-ranked candidates receive ITAs during IRCC’s regular draws.

Following the issuance of an ITA, candidates have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence. IRCC aims to process these applications within six months. Under the Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025, IRCC intends to welcome approximately 83,000 immigrants via the Express Entry program in 2023, with targets of 109,000 in 2024 and 114,000 in 2025.

On March 6, 2025, IRCC sent out 4,500 invitations to apply for permanent residency in a French Language Focused Express Entry Draw. Candidates eligible for this draw were those who demonstrated French language proficiency by achieving a minimum score of 7 in all four language abilities on the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) scale.

Dear future neighbour,

Canada’s Express Entry system helps skilled workers from around the world immigrate to Canada. In 2025, Express Entry continues to offer a fast and efficient way to apply for permanent residency through three main programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.

Candidates are selected based on a points system that considers factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply during regular draws.

From healthcare and STEM to trades, agriculture, and the newly added category: education, the updated categories focuses on filling labor shortages. Express Entry continues to prioritize applicants with skills in demand, making it a key tool for Canada to attract top talent and meet its economic needs.

Canada values people who are bilingual (speak both French and English), especially in areas like Quebec, where French is the main language. By encouraging people who speak French to apply, Canada hopes to strengthen its bilingual communities and workforce.
