On 24 January, 2018, Government of Canada invited
2750 Express Entry candidates via draw to apply for permanent residence.
The Comprehensive Ranking Score for this draw was
444 which was a two point reduction from the previous express entry draw which
had a CRS score of 446.
A tie-break rule was employed by Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on January 17, 2018 at 12:33:00 UTC,
where all the candidates with a CRS score of 444 and above who entered their
profile in the Express Entry pool before this time, will receive an Invitation
to Apply (ITA).
IRCC has set an admissions target of 74,900 for 2018
Express Entry which is increased by 3,200 as compared to the target score in
2017. It is a part of three-year immigration level plan which was unveiled last
November.
The CRS scores for Express Entry in both the draws
of 2018 are well below the first two draws of 2017. The lowest CRS cut-off
score in sixteen draws over the first half of 2017 was 413 on May 31.
The higher admissions in 2018 would lead to more
frequent draws and record-breaking CRS cut-off scores.
