On November 8, 2017 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) published the latest Express Entry draw with 2000 candidates issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
This is the first draw under the new Tie-Breaking Rule, where in the event that multiple candidates have tied CRS scores, profiles would be ranked according to the date and time of submission of the profiles. The new ranking system ranks candidates with the same Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score by the date and time their profiles were first submitted to the Express Entry pool. The tie-break procedure will prioritize those candidates whose profiles have been in the pool longer.
