Draw #402

Express Entry draw #402 was held on March 5, 2026, issuing 250 invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Senior managers with Canadian work experience category with a minimum CRS score of 429.

A cutoff of 429 is relatively accessible for Senior managers with Canadian work experience draws. Candidates with moderate CRS profiles — such as a bachelor's degree, CLB 9+ in their first language, and 2-3 years of Canadian experience — could qualify.

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.
