The IRCC has conducted a new Express Entry Draw this week on November 25. In this draw, the ministry has once again issued 5,000 invitations to the express entry candidates.
The highlight of this draw is the low CRS score requirement. The Comprehensive Ranking System score required was 469 in this invitation round. This is for the first time this year that the CRS score requirement has slipped below 470 points for an all-program express entry draw.
A comprehensive Ranking System score is one of the most crucial credentials in the Express Entry System. The points are given to the candidates based on some human capital, skills transferability, and other factors.
Important: Express entry candidates with language proficiency in French are now eligible to secure more points in the CRS score as per the recent changes. French-speaking candidates will now get 25 points while bilingual candidates are eligible to get 50 points.
