Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held another Express Entry draw in June 2023. The June 27 draw issued 4,300 invitations to apply (ITA) under all Express Entry programs for Canadian permanent residence (PR).
Eligible foreign nationals must have ranked among the first 4,300 in the federal pool to have received invitation to apply in June 27 draw. The minimum qualifying score based on the CRS (comprehensive ranking system) remained the same from previous June 08 draw at of the lowest-ranked candidate invited is 486.
June 27 marks the sixth all-program Express Entry of 2023 and fifteenth overall. 
Canada considered all the newly registered profiles in the federal pool, keeping the tie-breaker cut-off date close to June 21, 2023. The tie-break rule is beneficial in cases where two or more candidates end up with the same CRS score.
