What This Draw Means
In Draw #23, IRCC set the CRS cutoff at 460 and issued 1,503 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on December 18, 2015. This means all candidates in the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of 460 or higher received an invitation to submit a permanent residence application.
This draw's cutoff was 31 points below the category average of 491, indicating a more favorable round for candidates. Lower cutoffs like this can result from IRCC issuing a larger number of invitations or from seasonal fluctuations in the candidate pool.
Candidates who received an ITA have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application. Those not invited remain in the pool for up to 12 months and will be considered in future draws.
