The ITA was totally issued to 795 candidates, and among them, 505 were given to candidates of Skilled Trade Classes, and the remaining 290 were given to provincial nomination candidates who had opted for a PNP Stream aligned with Express Entry.

The present draw had unique features and had happened for the second time in 2017, that the authorities held a draw of program-specific nature, exclusively for applicants of Skilled Trade Classes and for candidates who were provincially nominated. Being the earliest draw conducted, following the 26 May draw, it attracted the entire set of candidates, figuring in the pool. The features of this draw were similar to the Draw, conducted on 26 May, where provincial nominee candidates and FSTC were invited.

By now 10 draws were held, between May 26^th and November 1^st, and it is facts that, draws which are program-specific, are not the norm, but can be regarded as exceptions. The benefit is given to all candidates, because the authorities eliminate a few aspirants from the existing pool. The persons receiving the nomination from a province and also 673 CRS points, and who figured on November 1^st in the pool were invited. The categories included were FST, CEC, and FSW. When FST candidates were sent an invitation on November 1st, it showed that applicants in FSW and CEC will get a chance to add to their rank owing to such a draw.
