Draw #453

Express Entry draw #453 was held on October 28, 2026, issuing 150 invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Transport occupations category with a minimum CRS score of 477.

The CRS cutoff rose 7 points from the previous Transport occupations draw, indicating higher competition among candidates in this category.

A cutoff of 477 is in the typical range for Transport occupations draws. Candidates with a combination of youth, a master's degree, and strong language scores would generally clear this threshold.

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.
