On March 29, 2023, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted another new all-program Express Entry draw - inviting yet another 7,000 candidates for the third consecutive time.

This takes the total ITAs issued in March to a whopping 21,000 ITAs in just two weeks!

A total of 7,000 ITAs were issued to candidates under Express Entry’s Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The minimum CRS score required to be invited to apply for Canada PR was 481.
