🇨🇦 Draw #267

In Draw #267, IRCC set the CRS cutoff at 354 and issued 600 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on September 28, 2023. This means all candidates in the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of 354 or higher received an invitation to submit a permanent residence application.

This was a Agriculture and agri-food occupations (Version 1) draw, part of IRCC's category-based selection system that targets candidates with specific skills or attributes beyond raw CRS scores.

This draw's cutoff was 38 points below the category average of 392, 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.
