What This Draw Means
In Draw #26, IRCC set the CRS cutoff at 457 and issued 1,468 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on January 27, 2016. This means all candidates in the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of 457 or higher received an invitation to submit a permanent residence application.
This draw's cutoff was 34 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.
