For the latest draw, which took place on March 24^th the points required increased to 441 points on the Comprehensive Ranking System. A total of 3749 candidates received an invitation from the government of Canada to submit their applications.

This was the 7^th Express Entry draw to take place in 2017, following on from the 1^st March draw which invited 3884 candidates to apply.
