Canada March First Express Entry Invites 2850 Candidates in General Draw

In the latest development from the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the March edition of the Express Entry draw has seen a significant invitation of 2,850 candidates in a general draw. This milestone highlights Canada’s continued commitment to attracting skilled immigrants who can contribute to the country’s economy and society.

Candidates selected in this draw were chosen based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores, with a minimum requirement of 525 points. These individuals have showcased their proficiency in key areas sought by the Canadian government, such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors.

The Express Entry system remains a vital pathway for skilled workers, enabling them to secure permanent residency in Canada. It serves as a streamlined and efficient method for managing immigration applications, ensuring that qualified candidates are selected in a timely manner.

This draw underscores Canada’s proactive approach to addressing labor market needs and maintaining its position as a welcoming destination for immigrants worldwide. Aspiring immigrants are encouraged to stay informed about updates from IRCC and explore opportunities within the Express Entry system to pursue their dreams of living and working in Canada.

Category-based selection

There are six categories, including healthcare, STEM professions, trades, transport, agriculture, and strong French proficiency. These draws offer an advantage to candidates already in the Express Entry pool, with typically lower CRS scores compared to general draws observed this year.
