Following the April 26 draw, 3,500 applicants with CRS scores of 483 were invited.

On April 12, 3,500 applicants with CRS scores of 486 were also invited by IRCC. This draw’s candidate count is half that of March, when the IRCC held four draws in a row and invited more than 21,000 candidates, including 7,000 in three of those draws.

In terms of overall invitations, March saw the second-highest number in the Express Entry timeline. Only a draw in February 2021, in which 27,332 CEC candidates received an ITA, crosses it.

A tentative restoration to the regular draw timetable occurs in April. Express Entry draw results are announced typically on Wednesdays every other week until late 2022 and entirely through March 2023. Weekly draws were held throughout March.
