New Express Entry Draw 29 May 2019 Invites Skilled Candidates With CRS 470
Posted On: Tue, Jun 18 2019
The new Canada Express Entry draw was conducted on May 29, 2019, inviting 3,350 candidates to apply for Canada Permanent Residence. The candidates with minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score 470 and above were invited in this current draw for Canadian Immigration.
The May 29 draw was the first all-program Express Entry invitation round since May 1 and higher numbers of invitations are back with this draw. The previous Express Entry Draw held May 15 invited applicants through Federal Skilled Trade Worker Program.
The reason for the high cut-off score is due to the resulting gap of nearly a month between all programs draws. The Express Entry draws are usually held in a span of every two weeks. With the time gap between these draws is extended, the Express Entry pool has more time to replenish with high-scoring applicants.
The below graph mentions the minimum CRS and time gap from January 10, 2019, when the CRS score was 449 till May 29,2019, when the CRS score has reached 470. The current Express Entry draw of 29th May was conducted after 28 days.
