Last Updated On 8 July 2024, 3:54 PM EDT (Toronto Time)

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sent out 3,200 invitations to apply (ITAs) in the latest Express Entry draw of 2024 on July 8.

This round of invitations targeted all the Express Entry profiles with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 420 and above and at least level 7 proficiency in the French language.

Below are the details of Express Entry draw today

Category: French language proficiency (Version 1)
Number of invitations issued: 3,200
Rank required to be invited to apply: 3,200 or above
Date and time of round: July 8, 2024, at 14:01:33 UTC
CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 420
Tie-breaking rule: May 30, 2024, at 03:37:43 UTC

The tie-breaking rule means if there is more than one candidate with the lowest CRS score, then the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles will determine who will get the invitations.

The CRS cutoff score in this draw is exactly the same as we predicted in our June 27 article on Express Entry prediction and deciding factors.

Candidates who have received invitations to apply now have 60 days to respond by submitting the supporting documents for the data they initially provided when creating their profiles.
