On 30th March, 2023, we got to know that Canada has once again issued 7,000 invitations. These candidates received invitations because they applied for the Express Entry pool.

Only in one month, and we repeat ONE MONTH, it issued more than 21,000 invitations?! For real? Surprisingly, yes! Though it’s a good thing for all the immigrants out there.
Declining CRS cut-off score
In these last three draws, in March alone, EE conducted all-program draws, and in each round of draws 7,000 invitations went out. Moreover, in the previous draws, we saw an astonishing decline in CRS cut-off too.
In the first draws of March, 667 invitations went out, however, the number of invitations went up drastically as the next three draws came out. And, we all know how many invitations to apply were handed out.
To talk about the CRS score, in the first week of March, the cut off was 748. In the second week of March? It dropped from a great height of 748 to only 490. Now, hold on. This doesn’t end here. In the third week of March, FYI this one was totally unexpected, the CRS cut-off point dropped further to 484! Stay with us for one more shocking fact.
When everyone was expecting the draws to come out on 1st April, it came by on 30th March. Yes, the schedule of these draws have been all over the place. ON TOP OF THAT, the CRS cut-off even dropped lower than my expectations. Only 481 points were needed to apply for permanent residency in Canada. This was the lowest requirement in terms of all-program draws ever since 23rd December, 2022.
