How Express Entry Draws Work
What is a Round of Invitations?
Every Express Entry draw selects candidates from the pool based on:
- CRS ranking
- Targeted skill category
- Labor market needs
- Visa program priorities
Once selected, candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Types of Express Entry Rounds
Canada runs different kinds of draws:
- General draws (any skilled worker in the pool)
- Program-specific draws (CEC, FSWP, etc.)
- Category-based draws (priority occupations)
This means you can qualify in more than one way.
Category-Based Draws: Who Gets Priority?
Canada has identified specific job sectors where skilled workers are urgently needed:
- Healthcare and Nursing
- STEM Fields (IT, Engineering, Data)
- Skilled Trades
- Agriculture and Food Industry
- Transport and Logistics
- French-language proficiency
If your profile matches any of these categories, you may receive an ITA even with a lower CRS score.
What is a Good CRS Score in 2025?
The CRS score requirement varies with each draw. A competitive CRS score:
- 480+ for general draws
- 400–470 for category-based draws
- Lower scores still possible with PNP nomination (+600 points)
Your CRS score is the key to Express Entry success. Make sure you know yours and how to improve it.
How to Improve Your CRS Score
You can boost your ranking through:
- Higher IELTS/CELPIP score
- Provincial Nomination Program (PNP)
- French language ability
- Canadian job offer
- More work experience or education
