Draw #444

Express Entry draw #444 was held on September 16, 2026, issuing 250 invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Senior managers with Canadian work experience category with a minimum CRS score of 389.

The CRS cutoff dropped 3 points compared to the previous Senior managers with Canadian work experience draw, suggesting increased competition relief or larger pool capacity.

A cutoff of 389 is notably low for Express Entry, making this round accessible to a wide range of candidates including those without Canadian work experience or a provincial nomination.

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.
