Highlights Of The Latest Express Entry Draw

This is the 11th consecutive draw under the no program specified immigration program category.
In addition, this is the 11th consecutive time the CRS cut-off is reduced with each draw.
In this continuation, from July 6, 2022, to the latest express entry draw, CRS is reduced by 66 points.
As far as, Canada PR has concerned, 66 points reduction is one of the significant phenomena. Because the CRS points made a huge impact on the selection of any candidate.
If we observed when the No Program Specified draws were begun Canadian Immigration invited only 1500 candidates. On the other end, now they are inviting almost 5000 candidates with each draw.
As a result, within six months and from the eleven draws the IRCC invited more than 35,000 candidates through No Program Specified draws.
As compared with the past fourteen draws before July 6, 202, the department invited almost 11,000 candidates only.
Additionally, there are likely chances that the new latest change in the NOC pattern will also play a major role to invite more and more candidates for Canada PR.
