A new Express Entry draw took place in Canada on October 12, issuing 4,250 invitations to apply. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required in this new draw was 500 points, four points lower than in the previous draw.

No program was specified for the draw; thus, invitations were sent to candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). The Express Entry program is one of the most popular ways to immigrate to Canada.

As per the tie-break rule, candidates who had the minimum score were only included if they had submitted their profiles before October 10, 2022 17:10:53 UTC.
So far, Canada has issued 30,865 invitations in 2022, the majority since all-program draws returned in July.

In 2021, IRCC issued 114,431 ITAs to Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and PNP candidates. It beat the previous record of 107,350 set in 2020.

It was the 21st round of invitations under Express Entry in 2022 and the 233rd overall.

New Express Entry applications will be processed within six months, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Applicants have 60 days to submit their applications.
