Reviews on Recent Express Entry Draw

In the latest Express Entry Draw conducted today, the focus was exclusively on profiles created under all programs, encompassing the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Profiles falling under these programs and possessing a provincial nomination were also considered.

A notable development in this draw was the increase in the cutoff score by 5 points in comparison to the previous all-program Express Entry draw.

Additionally, this draw granted 1,300 more invites than the previous one, held on April 26, 2023, by a significant margin.

Suggestion: Express Entry remains highly competitive, primarily due to the lack of an all-program Express Entry draw two weeks ago. As a result, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cutoff scores have remained high. However, if you are eligible as a candidate under the Express Entry Canadian Experience Class (CEC), it is strongly recommended to create your Express Entry profile as soon as possible, regardless of your current CRS score. This is because there is a possibility of receiving a provincial nomination, which can significantly increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

In addition, candidates eligible under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) should also create their Express Entry profiles, considering the significant number of provincial nominations being directly offered by the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

It is advisable to explore the provincial nomination options available to you after creating your Express Entry profile. Provincial nominations can provide additional points and opportunities for obtaining an ITA.
