Canada, known for its openness to immigration and its constant search for foreign talent, recently held a new draw for its famous immigration program: Entrée Express. Here's what you need to know about the #268 draw on October 10, 2023.
The draw in brief
Drawing date: October 10, 2023
Total number of invitations: 3725
Programs concerned :
- Federal Skilled Worker Program
- Canadian Experience Class
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Provincial candidate program
Selection Criteria
Entrée Express is based on a points system. For this draw, the minimum score required was 500, meaning that all applicants with a score equal to or above this threshold were invited to submit their application for permanent residence.
Tie-breaking rule
Sometimes, several candidates obtain the same score, the lowest score that allows them to be selected. So how does Canada decide who to select? That's where the tie-breaking rule comes in. For this draw, the tie-breaker has been set for October 2, 2023 at 15:25:30 UTC. This means that if more than one candidate has achieved the minimum score of 500, priority has been given to those whose Express Entry profile was submitted before this specific date and time.
What to do after receiving an invitation
Obtaining an Express Entry invitation is a crucial step, but it does not yet guarantee permanent residency. Invited applicants must now submit a complete application for permanent residence. It's essential that you provide all the required documents and follow the steps rigorously to ensure your success.
