Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held the latest Express Entry draw on 09th September 2024. It issued 911 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates with at least 732 CRS score. Once the candidate receives an ITA, they have 60 days to submit a completed PR application.

The reason why the CRS requirement was so high as compared to category-based Express Entry draws is because it was a PNP-specific draw. When a candidate is provincial nominated, they receive additional 600 CRS points which assists them to receive an ITA in a draw sooner.
Hence, when IRCC conducts PNP-only draw, the CRS score is bound to require over 600 points. So, if the latest Express Entry draw (#313) required candidates to have a score of 732 points, the cut-off is not considered that high.
Further, based on our analysis of previous Express Entry draws, we can predict that the next draw should be held on 10 September. Also, the next draw will most likely be a category-based one.
