Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is conducting its 30th Express Entry draw through tomorrow.
- IRCC will be issuing 1,014 invitations to those who have submitted an Expression of Interest to apply for permanent residence.
- The minimum qualifying score for this draw is 470.
The frequency and size of Express Entry draws are at the discretion of IRCC.
What This Means for Employers and Foreign Nationals
While an Labour Market Impact Assessment or Provincial Nomination approval will guarantee an employee’s selection and invitation for permanent residence, such documents are not required in all cases. This draw once again demonstrates that employees without LMIA or PN approvals continue to be selected in the Express Entry draw.
