Express Entry Draw #3

In Draw #3, IRCC invited 849 Express Entry candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence. The minimum CRS score required was 808.

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 808 is considered high, meaning most candidates needed strong profiles — typically combining Canadian work experience, high language scores, and/or a provincial nomination.
