Skilled military recruits Express Entry draws: latest CRS cut-off scores

A draw (a "round of invitations") is when IRCC invites candidates in the Express Entry pool to apply for permanent residence. Everyone with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score at or above the cut-off for that round, and who meets the round's criteria, receives an invitation to apply.

It is the lowest CRS score that received an invitation in a round. When several candidates have the cut-off score, IRCC uses the tie-breaking rule: those who entered the pool first are invited first.

Since 2023 IRCC also holds draws for candidates with strong French, or with work experience in occupations such as healthcare, trades, STEM, transport, agriculture and education. These rounds often have lower cut-off scores than general rounds. Use the category filter above to compare them.

Higher language test results, a second official language, more education, Canadian work experience, a valid job offer in some cases, or a provincial nomination (worth 600 points) all add points. Canadian work experience also makes you eligible for Canadian Experience Class draws. Search jobs on New Comer Hiring to find work in Canada.

There is no fixed schedule. IRCC usually holds several rounds a month, and the size and type of each round follow the yearly immigration levels plan. This page updates automatically when IRCC publishes a new round.
