Express Entry Draw #33
May 6, 2016 — 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 #33, IRCC invited 799 Express Entry candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence. The minimum CRS score required was 534.
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 534 is considered high, meaning most candidates needed strong profiles — typically combining Canadian work experience, high language scores, and/or a provincial nomination.
