1. Introduction to Express Entry Drawing #293
On April 11, 2024, the Canadian government conducted its 293rd Express Entry draw, specifically targeting professionals in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. This initiative reflects Canada's ongoing commitment to attracting highly qualified talent to support its economic, scientific and technological development.
2. Drawing details
During this session, 4,500 invitations to apply for permanent residency were sent out. The draw took place at 13:23:42 UTC, including candidates with a diversity of skills and experience in key sectors of the economy. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score for selected candidates was 491 points.
3. Selection criteria
The tie-breaking rule applied for this draw was set for February 25, 2024 at 11:55:12 UTC. This means that all candidates with the same score of 491 points, but who submitted their profile before this date and time, were given preference. This method ensures transparency and fairness in the candidate selection process.
4. Programs concerned
The invitations cover several key programs, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program. This offers a wide range of opportunities for STEM specialists wishing to settle in Canada and contribute to its fast-growing sector.
