Canada has delivered a statement of intent of its commitment to immigration by issuing 27,332 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores as low as 75 in a historic Express Entry draw.
The February 13 Canadian Experience Class draw – the first to take place on a Saturday since the system was launched in 2015 – obliterated the records for the most ITAs and the lowest minimum CRS score.

It shows that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is serious about ramping up the numbers of new permanent residents in 2021 to aid the economic recovery from COVID-19.
Canada plans to welcome more than 400,000 newcomers per year over the next three years, with many sceptical about how they will achieve this in 2021 due to the lingering pandemic.
But in issuing more than 27,000 invites in a single draw – the previous record was 5,000 – IRCC has shown it is prepared to be bold in pursuit of the target numbers.
The minimum CRS score of 75 is the first time it has ever dropped under 100. The previous low for a CEC draw was 431 in June 2020, while May 31, 2017 saw a minimum CRS of 413 for an all program draw and May 26 the same year saw a score of 199 for a Skilled Trades draw.
The historically low CRS means candidates who would never previously have had a chance of qualifying have now received ITAs.
The latest draw followed a Provincial Nominee Program draw on February 10 that saw 654 ITAs issued and a minimum CRS score of 720.
IRCC has now issued 37,986 ITAs through six draws to start 2021.
