Draw #400

Express Entry draw #400 was held on March 3, 2026, issuing 4,000 invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class category with a minimum CRS score of 508.

The CRS cutoff remained unchanged from the previous Canadian Experience Class draw at 508 points. The number of invitations decreased by 2,000 compared to the previous round.

A cutoff of 508 is on the higher end for Canadian Experience Class draws, meaning candidates needed strong profiles across age, education, language, and work experience to qualify.

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

Candidates below this cutoff should consider strategies like improving language scores, obtaining a provincial nomination, or gaining Canadian work experience to close the gap.
