Express Entry Latest 10 CRS Mininum Scores for Invitation by 2023 April 23

If you are interested in immigrating to Canada through the Express Entry system, you may want to know the latest CRS scores of the lowest ranked candidates who received invitations to apply for permanent residence.

The CRS score is a measure of your human capital factors, such as age, education, language ability, work experience and other criteria. The higher your CRS score, the more likely you are to be invited to apply.

Every two weeks, the Canadian government issues invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence to eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool. The number of ITAs and the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required vary depending on the immigration program and the demand for skilled workers in Canada.

The table below shows the most recent 10 rounds of invitations and their corresponding CRS scores of the lowest ranked candidate invited.

Data is from the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

From the table, we can observe some trends and patterns in the Canada Express Entry CRS:

• The number of invitations varies depending on the program(s) involved. The rounds that involve No Program Specified tend to have more invitations than the ones that involve specific programs such as Provincial Nominee or Federal Skilled Worker.
• The minimum CRS score required also depends on the program(s) involved. The rounds that involve Provincial Nominee tend to have higher CRS scores than the ones that involve No Program Specified or Federal Skilled Worker. This is because Provincial Nominee candidates receive an additional 600 points for their nomination certificate.
• The minimum CRS score required fluctuates depending on the supply and demand of candidates in the pool. The rounds that have more invitations tend to have lower CRS scores than the ones that have fewer invitations. This is because more invitations mean more candidates are drawn from the pool, lowering the cut-off score.

These trends and patterns can help candidates plan their strategy and improve their chances of receiving an ITA for permanent residence in Canada. Candidates can increase their CRS score by improving their language skills, gaining more work experience, obtaining a higher level of education, getting a job offer or a provincial nomination, or having a sibling in Canada.
