Through regularly held express draws, Invitation to Apply (ITA) is issued to the higher-ranked profiles.
Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held the express draw in a regular time interval of two weeks. If there is any delay between the two consecutive express draws, it can lead to higher CRS cut-offs. In the latest express draw, CRS cut-off is set at 459 points. This means the express profiles with CRS score of 459 points or more were issued the ITAs in the latest round of express draws. Through the ITA, candidates are able to submit their application to the IRCC for Canada PR Visa with the proper set of documents. Once the candidate gets an ITA, they have 60 days for the application submission to the IRCC.
