Express Entry Round #238 – Canada Selected 5,500 Candidates

On 18th January 2023 16:13:57 UTC, Canada issues invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry System. No program is specified for this particular round.

Surprisingly, the Canadian immigration department conducted this draw just 7 days after the Express Entry Round #237. They selected 5,500 candidates in the past draw as well.

In round number 238, the immigration department selected 5,500 candidates who are now eligible to apply for permanent residence.

As per official sources, the CRS score of the lowest-ranked candidate was 490. The tie-breaking rule is applied until November 24, 2022, 21:14:59 UTC.

For novices, the tie-braking rule is applied when more than one candidate has the lowest score. In such a situation, people who submitted their profile earlier receive an invitation.

These two successive draws in a quick period of time reflect the demand for immigrants in Canada. We have seen a drop in the CRS score requirement as well.

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regularly invite candidates to apply for Canadian citizenship. If you want to move to Canada, this is the time to make a move.

However, if you are concerned that you do not meet the required CRS score, we advise you to go for a provincial nomination. It gives you 600 additional points, which guarantees an invitation to apply for permanent citizenship.
