IRCC invites 4800 candidates in the 8th June 2023 draw

IRCC has conducted its fourteenth Express Entry draw of 2023. Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has invited 4,800 candidates in an all-program draw.

The candidates have required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 486.

This was the first draw of June which follows the most recent draw on May 24 in which 4,800 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 488 were invited in an all-program draw.  This score is higher than the April 26 all-program draw which had a minimum CRS score requirement of 483.

The new categories target candidates with specific attributes that support Canada’s economic goals. Five are for those with work experience in the following fields:

• Healthcare
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professions
• Trades, such as Carpenters, Plumbers, and Contractors
• Transport
• Agriculture and Agri-Food

The final category is for candidates with strong French-speaking abilities.

The department says it expects to begin holding category-based draws this summer but has not provided an exact date.

Those who hope to receive an ITA in the targeted draws must be candidates in the Express Entry pool. IRCC says it will still rank Express Entry candidates who meet the category requirements and then issue ITAs to those with the highest scores.
