Express Entry 2025
So far in 2025, Canada has held 40 Express Entry draws and issued 66,838 invitations. With the Express Entry system continuing to evolve, candidates are increasingly looking for expert guidance to boost their chances of selection.
Why CRS Scores Stay High
The CRS cut-off score has remained steady at 534 for three consecutive CEC draws, reflecting two key factors behind this stability:
-
High number of qualified candidates: With over 250,000 profiles currently in the pool, competition for Invitations to Apply (ITAs) remains extremely strong.
-
Targeted selection strategy: IRCC continues to focus on program-specific draws, particularly favoring candidates with Canadian work experience under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
