Express Entry Draw #165
October 14, 2020 — No program specified
Program Type
This was an all-program draw, open to candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).
What This Draw Means
In Draw #165, IRCC invited 4,500 Express Entry candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence. The minimum CRS score required was 471.
Candidates who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in this round had 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application. Once submitted, Express Entry applications are typically processed within 6 months.
A cutoff of 471 is considered moderate, accessible to candidates with solid work experience and language scores without necessarily needing a provincial nomination.
