In its 8th all-program draw since July 6, the government of Canada has invited 4,250 new candidates in 
its latest express entry draw. Invitations have been sent to applicants with a minimum Comprehensive 
Ranking System (CRS) score of 500. Candidates who had applied under the Federal Skilled Worker 
Program, Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program, received these 
invitations under the Express Entry System.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic compelled the government of Canada to pause Express Entry 
all-program draws for more than 18 months, effective from December 2020. Only CEC and PNP 
applicants were issued invitations to apply (ITAs) during this period. Canada paused these draws to work 
on the backlog of applications created during the pandemic. In September 2021, IRCC halted CEC draws 
as well. 
 
The latest draw continues the series of lower CRS score as Canada aims to welcome more immigrants 
soon via express entry. This has been the trend since July 6, when the government granted invites to 
candidates with a CRS score as low as 557. The first five draws decreased the score by five to eight 
points. The two most recent draws on September 14 and 28 also witnessed the same. 
Canada to unveil new immigration levels
 
IRCC aims to reach the target of inviting some 432,000 new permanent 
residents in its new immigration plan 2023-24. Each year IRCC unveils a new 
immigration plan that determines the number of new immigrants Canada wants 
to welcome over the next three years. The Immigration Levels Plan 2022 aims to 
receive 55,900 new permanent residents via express entry. So far, Canada has 
admitted over 28,000 new permanent residents. The new immigration level plan 
is expected to release on November 1. 
 
Faster processing for physicians in express entry 
 
To address the shortage of physicians in Canada, IRCC has relaxed immigration 
policies for physicians already living and working in Canada as temporary 
residents
Earlier physicians had problems while applying for immigration due to Canada’s medical system 
working on a “fee-for-service” model. Physicians were considered self-employed, and this sort of work 
experience gained within Canada is not eligible under the Express Entry system.
 
Upcoming changes in the express entry system
 
Accepting Bill C-19 in Parliament in June will give IRCC more authority and freedom to select Express 
Entry candidates based on specific work experience, educational background, or language skills rather 
than issuing ITAs to applicants solely based on their CRS scores.
