New Express Entry Draw Sends Out 964 Invitations for Permanent Residency

964 Invited to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency

Today, the latest Express Entry draw issued 964 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency in Canada. This marks the eighth draw of the month, continuing the momentum in the immigration process.

This draw targeted candidates into the pool with provincial nominations, requiring a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 686. Since today is Tuesday and this is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) only draw, it's likely we'll see more draws later this week, potentially focusing on the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or STEM candidates.

Details of the Draw:

  • Program: Provincial Nominee Program
  • Number of invitations issued: 964
  • Rank required to be invited to apply: 964 or above
  • Date and time of round: July 30, 2024, at 15:25:21 UTC
  • CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 686
  • Tie-breaking rule: May 27, 2024, at 07:07:21 UTC

Invited candidates now have 60 days to submit a complete application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency. Currently, IRCC processes Express Entry applications within an average of five months.
