Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently issued 2,500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through the Express Entry system in a draw specifically targeting candidates in the education category. To be eligible for consideration in this draw, candidates were required to have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 462 and to have created an Express Entry candidate profile before 4:24 a.m. UTC on July 9, 2025. This move highlights IRCC’s continued efforts to manage the pool of applicants for Canadian immigration, particularly in fields related to education.
