Draw #204

Express Entry draw #204 was held on September 14, 2021, issuing 2,000 invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class category with a minimum CRS score of 462.

The CRS cutoff rose 59 points from the previous Canadian Experience Class draw, indicating higher competition among candidates in this category. The number of invitations decreased by 1,000 compared to the previous round.

A cutoff of 462 is in the typical range for Canadian Experience Class draws. Candidates with a combination of youth, a master's degree, and strong language scores would generally clear this threshold.

Canadian Experience Class draws target candidates with at least one year of skilled Canadian work experience within the past three years.

If your CRS score is within 30 points of this cutoff, focusing on language test improvement or gaining additional Canadian work experience could make the difference in an upcoming draw.
