What is a General Express Entry Draw?
A General Express Entry draw issues ITAs or Invitation to Apply to applicants belonging to all the Express Entry pathways:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – this is for provincial nominees who are in the Express Entry pool.
The Comprehensive Ranking System or the CRS score for the General draws is usually more competitive than the category-based selections.
Since Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada has announced the draws after more than a month, there are high chances of Express Entry draws in the upcoming days.
