On July 11, 2023, Sean Fraser, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, issued the 257th set of instructions for the Express Entry system, which is a system used by the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers.
This round of invitations was not limited to any specific program, meaning that candidates from all programs, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Provincial Nominee Program, were eligible to receive an invitation.
A total of 800 invitations were issued in this round. To receive an invitation in this round, candidates needed to be ranked 800 or above in the Express Entry pool. The ranking is based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which considers factors such as age, education, language proficiency, and work experience.
The candidate with the lowest CRS score who received an invitation in this round had a score of 505. This means that all candidates with a CRS score of 505 or above would have received an invitation in this round.
In cases where multiple candidates have the same CRS score, the Express Entry system uses a tie-breaking rule. The tie-breaking rule for this round was October 01, 2022, at 06:13:05 UTC. This means that if two or more candidates had a CRS score of 505, the candidate who submitted their profile to the Express Entry pool earlier would have received an invitation.
The period for issuing invitations for this round began on July 11, 2023, and ended on July 12, 2023. This means that all invitations for this round were issued within this period.
