Canada Express Entry Latest Draw 2025: CRS Scores, Dates

The most recent news updates on Canada’s Express Entry Program including the latest draws, eligibility, process, rules, and requirements. The Express Entry Program, which is run by the government of Canada, will help those who are eligible through a more expedient immigration process towards Canadian permanent residence and gives individuals the opportunity to be invited to a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Through a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), applicants earn points based on their biographical data. For each Express Entry draw, a minimum CRS Score is reported along with how many people who receive an ITA (invitation to apply). Find out your CRS score by using our CRS Score Calculator. A tie-breaking rule is in place which states if two people have the same CRS score, the time and date an application entered the IRCC Express Entry pool are considered. The tie-breaking mechanism means that applicants in the pool longer are favored. For more information on the immigration process and requirements for Express Entry, visit our section on the Canadian Express Entry Program.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
