On March 23, 2023, Immigration Refugees And Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Has Invited 7,000 Candidates In The Eighth Express Entry Draw Of 2023, With A Minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score Of 484. This Is Surprising As It Marks The Second-Consecutive Week IRCC Has Invited Express Entry Candidates, And Ties The Largest-Ever All-Program Draw On March 15, In Which 7,000 Candidates Were Also Invited. Additionally, Provincial Immigration Ministers Have Endorsed The First Multi-Year Provincial Immigration Plan, Which Will Work Similarly To The Federal Immigration Levels Plan, Outlining Immigration Targets For Three Years. Provinces Will Now Know Their Allocation Of Provincial Nominations In Advance, And Express Entry Candidates Can Increase Their Chances Of Receiving An ITA By Obtaining A Provincial Nomination. IRCC Has Also Offered Another Reprieve To Many Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Holders Interested In Gaining Permanent Residence.
