Comments on today’s Express Entry Draw: Today’s Express Entry Draw was only for profiles having a provincial nomination.
On the positive note, this was the lowest cutoff score for Express Entry PNP only draw since February 2022 and second lowest since November 2021.
Today’s draw simply translates into any profile just having a CRS score of 91 with 600 points of provincial nomination receiving an invitation to apply.
This is a good news for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates because usually Federal Skilled Worker Program profiles with such a low score are not in the pool (not being eligible).
Advise: If you are Express Entry CEC eligible candidate, create your Express Entry profile asap no matter what your score is. You may get provincial nomination and receive an ITA.
Furthermore, FSWP candidates should also create their profiles, if they are eligible given the record number of provincial nominations offered directly by Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) this week.
