The Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) used its tie-break rule in today’s draw.

The timestamp used was September 2, 2020, at 14:17:32  UTC which means that all candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score above 475, as well as those candidates with scores of 475 who entered their profile in the Express Entry pool before the selected date and time, received an Invitation to Apply  (ITA) in this invitation round.

The tie-break rule is used to rank the immigration candidates who have the same Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score remains the primary factor in selecting candidates to be invited to apply for Canada permanent residence.

The Factors that can affect the cut-off Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score include the size of the draw which means the larger draws can produce a lower minimum CRS score and the time between draws which is shorter periods between draws can help to lower the CRS score.

The eligible candidates for each program are issued a CRS score under Express Entry’s CRS. This CRS score awards points for factors such as age, education, skilled work experience, and language proficiency in English or French.

To be eligible for this program under the Express Entry System a job offer is not required where the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) does award additional points to candidates who have one.

The Government of Canada has a processing standard of 6 months for permanent residence applications filed through the Express Entry.
