CIC Invites 3750 FSW Workers With 441 CRS Score

In the latest express Entry round conducted on July 25, 2018. 3750 applicants were invited to apply with a Comprehensive Ranking System Score of 441. 

The current CRS score is one point lower than the last invitation round score of 442 conducted on July 11, 2018. The reason behind score deduction could be attributed to the back- to-back draws of 3,750 ITS in a 14-day period. 

The tie-break up rule was applied for this draw that means all the candidates with a CRS score of 441 and above who submitted their profile before December 31, 2017 at 12:14:21 UTC will receive an ITA in this invitation round. 

 

This is a fourth consecutive draw issued to 3750 applicants and brings the total number of invitations issued to 7500 applicants in July 2018. This is by far the largest number of ITAs issued in a month since the introduction of Express Entry in 2015 and follows a record-setting month of June, which also saw 7500 ITAs issued. 

However, the number of invitations will increase or decrease is yet to be seen, if IRCC does resort to larger draws or more frequent draws, there is strong possibility of CRS falling down. 

Draw size number of 3750 is now well-established trend in 2018 that has seen draw sizes gradually increased over the course of the year. Source Link

Latest CRS Draw Sticks to 442; 3750 Invitations Given

The government of Canada has issued 3750 invitations to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence in the latest Express Entry draw conducted on 11^th July, 2018. The comprehensive ranking system score was 442. 

The draw was conducted with a tie-break rule. The tie-break time was June 26, 2018 at 13:18:55 UTC; all applicants with a CRS score of 442 and above who submitted their profile before the specified time and date will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in this draw. 

The CRS score of July 11, 2018 draw is same as that of previous round on June 25 and the 3750 ITAs issued is the same of the last two draws, held on June 13 and June 25. 

The reason of constant CRS score from two times despite the large draw size can be the time difference between June 25 and July 11 draw. More time between the Express Entry draws allow more time to reload the effect of elevating cut-off score. 

The draw sizes began at 2,750 ITAs this year and have consistently increased to 3,000 then 3,500 and now 3,750. Source Link Given Below: https://bit.ly/2N9Ubx4
