The immigration authorities of Canada held the second round of invitations of the Express Entry in 2018 where 2,750 candidates received Invitations to Apply for Canada permanent residence covering all programs. The lowest CRS score to enter was 444, which was two points below the score of the previous draw.

IRCC used the new format for conducting this draw.  With these changes, immigration authorities are now permitted, to arrive at the exact number of invitations, meant to be issued. 

When the number of candidates having the lowest score, exceed the number of invitations, to be issued, officials implement a tie-breaking mechanism, for issuing invitations, considering the date and time, which is stamped on the application.

When many candidates have the same low score, the cut-off threshold is arrived, as per the date and time of submitting the profiles in Express Entry.

Why was Change needed?

The new format permits the officials, to have a control, to implement a finer method, for selecting the given number of candidates, to receive an ITA.  This provision was not allowed in the previous system.

Considering the recent change, the draw continued with the trend in the Express Entry System, where the lowest CRS score was under 500.

Express Entry was the immigration system introduced by IRCC on January 1^st, 2015. It manages the applications of skilled workers under Federal Economic programs. The programs are some Provincial Nomination Programs apart from the Skilled Trades Program, the Federal Skilled Worker Program, and the Canada Experience Class.
