Round of Invitations
Throughout the year, various types of rounds of invitations are conducted by the immigration authorities.
- General rounds of invitations: In these rounds, top-ranking candidates in the pool who are eligible for one of the three programs managed through Express Entry are invited to apply for permanent residency.
- Program-specific rounds of invitations: During these rounds, top-ranking candidates eligible for a specific Express Entry program are invited to apply. For instance, if a round is designated for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), only candidates eligible for the PNP will receive invitations.
- Category-based rounds of invitations: In these rounds, the Minister establishes a category to meet a specific economic goal. Top-ranking candidates in the pool who meet the eligibility criteria for this category are then invited to apply.
To enter the pool, candidates must be eligible for one of the three programs managed through Express Entry.
Category-based rounds complement general and program-specific rounds by inviting top-ranking candidates who can contribute to meeting specific economic objectives.

Comprehensive Ranking System
During these draws, candidates are ranked based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which considers factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more, assigning each candidate a score out of a maximum of 1200 points.
In each draw, there’s a CRS cut-off score, which can fluctuate depending on factors such as the number of candidates, government immigration targets, programs, or specific categories. The goal of these draws is to select candidates who are likely to succeed and contribute to the Canadian economy. The CRS cut-off score also signifies the score of the lowest-ranked candidate who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in that Express Entry draw.
