On July 6, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is going to hold a new All-Program Express Entry draw for the first time since December 23, 2020. IRCC has not announced the number of Invitations to Apply (ITA) it is going to distribute. However, we can estimate this number to be within the range of 3,000 to 5,000 ITAs based on previous experience. As of June 20, 2022, there are 220,674 profiles registered in the Express Entry pool. As for the lowest score that may be required to get an ITA in today’s draw, we expect it to be very high. Right now, there are 8,681 active profiles, whose score is above 501 points. If we calculate the total number of profiles with a CRS score higher than 451, we can assume that the lowest score in the future draws will remain high until all those 64,598 candidates are invited.
