Tie-breaking rule
The tie-breaking rule is an essential element of the Entrée Express system. It ensures that all applicants have a fair chance of being selected. In the event that more than one candidate receives the lowest score, the tie-breaker is based on the date and time of submission of their Express Entry profile. For this draw, the deadline was August 1, 2023 at 12:59:52 UTC. Candidates who submitted their profile by this date and obtained the lowest score would then be given preference.
Towards a promising future in Canada
For many applicants, Express Entry represents a gateway to a promising future in Canada. Whether you're a skilled worker, have previous Canadian experience, specialize in a trade or come from a specific province, this system offers multiple avenues to realize your aspirations.
