January 24, 2018 - Today, the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited applicants with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 444 to apply for Canadian permanent residence. The CRS cut-off threshold decreased by 2 points from the previous draw on January 10, 2018. A total of 2,750 invitations were issued in today's draw which also matched the previous draw.
As with the previous draw, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) employed the tie-break rule, whereby in the event that there are multiple candidates with tied CRS scores, profiles would be ranked according to the date and time of submission of the profiles. In this case, that time and date was January 17, 2018 at 12:33:00 UTC
