The latest express draws demonstrated a significant decline in the Canada cutoff score which sparks a new hope among aspiring Canadian Immigrants.
Canada has just announced the results of its 255th express entry draw on 6th July 2023, inviting a total of 1500 people in healthcare occupations for PR application. The draw showed the lowest CRS of 463 which indicates a slight drop compared to previous draws.
Earlier this month, two more invitation rounds were held on the 4th and 5th of July which ended with a minimum CRS of 511 (700 ITAs), and 486 (500 ITAs) respectively. Moreover, the month of June 2023 also had three invitation rounds with the lowest CRS ranging from 476 to 486 but issued a high number of invitations (a total of 9600 ITAs in June).
However, with a drop of cutoff points to 463, the latest 2023 draw has given a new boost of optimism to the people aiming to relocate to Canada. With this positive development, the chances of obtaining PR have increased for people even with relatively lower profile points.
- CRS in Express Entry-Overview:
Canada uses the express entry system to fulfil its skilled people’s needs by welcoming foreign professionals from all over the world. This system evaluates candidates’ eligibility based on CRS which stands for Comprehensive Ranking Score. These scores are assigned on different profile aspects including qualification, experience, age, and other relevant details. When draws are announced, people having higher CRS are selected. There’s a different minimum CRS (cutoff score) in every draw below which no further applicants are invited. Therefore, migrating aspirants have to make sure their CRS points are equal to or above the lowest CRS set by the Canadian govt. in each draw. Several Immigration Experts in Pakistan including Highbrow offer free CRS assessment to locals to help them evaluate and improve their profile.
- The Decline in Cutoff: Implications for Potential Immigrants
A high cutoff means stronger competition which consequently decreases success chances. However, the latest drop can lead to several benefits for the people seeking to immigrate to Canada in the following ways:
- It increases the success chances of individuals as competition decreases slightly with the decline in scores. As a result, more people can now hope to get selected for Canadian PR.
- It’s a new ray of hope for people who fell just below the previous Cutoff limit. By making a few improvements, these people may easily fall within the selected range and get their permanent residency.
- A dropped Canada Cutoff Score also means that it can now be accessible to a wider range of professionals even with average profiles. As a result, more diverse people can be hoping to apply and succeed through express entry.
In conclusion, though the express entry stays highly competitive, the recent drop in cutoff points has brought good news for people, opening more doors to Canadian PR. It’s a great opportunity for candidates that are on the edge to improve their profile and get selected in the next draws.
