August 14, 2019 By Jaqueline Blake

In the last Express Entry draw that took place on 12 August 2019, the CRS score of lowest ranked candidate invited was 466. There has been an increase of 7 CRS points compared to the previous Express Entry draw that was conducted on 24 July 2019.

A total of 3,600 invitations were issued on this 123^rd Express Entry draw that took place on 12 August 2019. The total number of invitations issued this time remain the same as it was in the previous two Express Entry draws that happened on July 10 and July 24 respectively.

This means that if you are a skilled professional looking to immigrate to Canada, time is of the essence for you. A minimum pass score of 67 points is required out of the total score of 100 points in the Federal 6 Selection Factors to qualify for Express Entry aligned programs. These include the Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC), the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

Below are the draw statistics of the 123rd Express Entry draw:

CRS score of the lowest ranked candidate: 466

Tie-break rule used in this draw: August 6, 2019 at 12:14:53 (UTC)

This means that all Express Entry profiles that were active in the pool with a minimum CRS score equal to or greater than 466, and which entered the pool at (or before) the lock-score (tie-break) timestamp were considered while the Federal Government of Canada issued Invitation to Apply (ITAs) this time.

Express Entry is a selection system, through which the Federal government of Canada (IRCC) selects candidates for economic immigration to Canada through three programs – Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC), Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – as well as a portion of Provincial Nominations (enhanced nominations).
