Now, after this new draw of EE System, IRCC has invited total 22,240 candidates to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) Visa this year in overall 10 Express Entry invitation rounds held until date.

The CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score requirement from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is bit high, i.e. 525 points in this particular draw. However, this will surely come down for the forthcoming category-based draws.

This year, the IRCC is continuing with the same six categories for the Category-based Express Entry draws, which were used last year, i.e. in 2023. These categories are:
