What This Draw Means
In Draw #85, IRCC set the CRS cutoff at 456 and issued 3,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on March 14, 2018. This means all candidates in the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of 456 or higher received an invitation to submit a permanent residence application.
This draw's cutoff was 35 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.
