A total of 2,750 candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking Score [CRS] of 444 were invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence in the latest Express Entry draw of the year, which took place on January 24th.
This is the sixth time the Government of Canada conducts a draw under the ‘tie-break’ procedure. In this event, multiple candidates who have the required cut-off score were ranked according to the date and time that their profiles were first submitted. Profiles that have been in the pool longer were prioritized for invitations over newer profiles. The tie-break date and time for this draw was January 17, 2018, at 12:33:00 UTC.

The latest Federal Express Entry draw was not limited to any particular program; candidates in all programs managed through the Express Entry system were in a position to receive an ITA.
In order to enter the Express Entry pool, they need to first meet the eligibility criteria for one of the three immigration programs managed through the Express Entry system.
Once in the pool, candidates are allocated a CRS score and it determines candidates’ ranking in the pool. With an Invitation to apply (ITA), candidates are able to submit an application for permanent resident status to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
