Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently issued 1,800 invitations to apply (ITAs) in an Express Entry draw targeting trade occupations, with a minimum 

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 433. This marks the first trade-focused draw since July, when the score was 436. It also follows two other draws this week, one for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and another for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates.

 IRCC continues its strategy of frequent domestic draws, aiming to meet immigration targets outlined in the upcoming 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, expected by November 1.
