Since it was a category-based draw, naturally the CRS requirement was lower than that of a PNP or CEC-specific draw. However, usually, the CRS requirement of category-based draws range from 330-400 points. So, why did IRCC require candidates to score higher CRS points this time?

It’s because candidates with French-language proficiency tend to score higher. Still, this is the highest CRS requiring Express Entry draw held for French proficient candidates in this year. And, IRCC has conducted 8 draws so far. Take a look at them below:
