The federal government of Canada has held another round of invitations under the Express Entry System managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC].
In the second draw to be held this month, another 266 Canada immigration hopefuls have been invited by IRCC in the latest Express Entry draw.
An Overview of Express Entry Draw #182 | |
Date and Time of round | April 14, 2021 at 11:01:51 UTC |
Number of invitations issued | 266 |
Candidate invited from | Provincial Nominee Program [PNP] |
Minimum CRS cut-off | CRS 753 [PNP nomination = 600 CRS points] |
Tie-breaking rule applied | March 01, 2021 at 15:22:18 UTC |
Invitations issued by date [April 14] | 26,500 [in 2020] | 49,390 [in 2021] |
As this was another of the program-specific federal draws, only those Express Entry candidates that had a provincial nomination – under the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP] of Canada – were eligible.
The minimum ranking score requirement in the latest Express Entry draw was that of CRS 753. By CRS here is implied the Comprehensive Ranking System that is used for ranking the profiles while in the Express Entry pool.
It is the highest-ranked candidates that are invited in the various federal and provincial draws held from time to time.
Put simply, the higher the CRS that you have, the better the chances of your being invited by IRCC to apply for Canada PR.
Though the minimum score requirement – of CRS 753 – might appear to be on the higher side, it is nonetheless accounted for by the CRS 600 points gained by a provincial nominee merely by virtue of being nominated under Canada’s PNP.
Of the nearly 80 Canada immigration pathways available under the PNP of Canada, many are linked with the federal Express Entry system.
The PNP is the most recommended route for an Express Entry candidate with a low CRS score. With a 600-point boost got through a PNP nomination, the individual is assured of receiving an invitation from IRCC in the next Express Entry draw.

A tie-breaking rule of March 01, 2021 at 15:22:18 UTC was applied by IRCC in Express Entry Draw #182. Applicable only to profiles that have the minimum required score cut-off, the tie-breaking rule grants precedence to profiles created earlier as compared to those created at a later date.
Hence, with the tie-break applied, those Express Entry candidates that had a PNP nomination along with a CRS of 753 and above received an invitation, provided they had created their Express Entry profile before the date and time specified.
With the latest round of invitations, Canada has invited a total of 49,390 so far in 2021 in the 12 draws held this year.
