The 501\u20131,200 range accounted for 74.4% of all profile gains among score bands that expanded.<\/p>\n
Around 10% of Express Entry<\/a> profiles fall within the top-scoring band, while a typical Canadian Experience Class<\/a> draw will issue invitations only to the top 1-2% of profiles.<\/p>\n What changes occurred in the Express Entry pool over the four-week period?<\/p>\n Between May 24 and June 21, the Express Entry pool grew from 238,847 to 239,645\u2014a net increase of just 798.<\/p>\n Growth was most pronounced in the 501\u2013600 Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a> (CRS) score range, where the number of candidates rose by approximately 11.52%. This bracket accounted for 8.35% of the total Express Entry pool.<\/p>\n Here are the top three brackets that experienced growth beyond the 501\u2013600 range:<\/p>\n The 601\u20131,200 range gained 609 profiles; The growth in the 601\u20131,200 range between May 24\u2013June 21 represents a reversal compared to April 26\u2013May 24 data, which instead saw this score range drop from 472 to 332 candidates.<\/p>\n The other two ranges that saw the highest growth reflect the ongoing pattern of candidate accumulation in the upper-mid CRS bands across recent reporting periods.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the pool contracted considerably in several score band ranges:<\/p>\n The 0\u2013400 bands lost a combined total of 1,312 profiles\u2014684 from the 351\u2013400 range alone; and For the decreases in the 0\u2013400 bands seen between May 24 and June 21, these were not influenced by draw activity, as the CRS cut-off of the lowest draw during that time was 409. Those lower-band decreases likely came from other pool movements: expirations, withdrawals, ineligibility, or candidates increasing their scores and moving into higher ranges.<\/p>\n Note: the June 21 pool composition data does not account for the draws that took place between June 22\u2013June 23.<\/p>\n In total, seven score ranges saw growth, while eight experienced dips:<\/p>\n \tCRS score rangeMay 24June 21Difference<\/p>\n \t0\u20133008,3038,104-199<\/p>\n \t301\u201335018,37517,946-429<\/p>\n \t351\u201340052,58151,897-684<\/p>\n \t401\u201341011,78211,968+186<\/p>\n \t411\u201342012,40212,128-274<\/p>\n \t421\u201343012,91512,584-331<\/p>\n \t431\u201344014,40113,980-421<\/p>\n \t441\u201345014,46314,147-316<\/p>\n \t451\u201346015,27415,127-147<\/p>\n \t461\u201347016,26216,358+96<\/p>\n \t471\u201348017,04017,318+278<\/p>\n \t481\u201349013,32313,598+275<\/p>\n \t491\u201350013,44913,537+88<\/p>\n \t501\u201360017,94520,012+2,067<\/p>\n \t601\u20131,200332941+609<\/p>\n \tTotal238,847239,645+798<\/p>\n These distributions are compared in the chart below for easier visualization:<\/p>\n What accounted for the changes in Express Entry profiles between May 24 and June 21?<\/p>\n IRCC<\/a> conducted three draws between May 24 and June 21, inviting a combined total of 7,834 candidates.<\/p>\n \tDate of drawRound typeInvitations issuedCRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited<\/p>\n \tMay 25Provincial Nominee Program334805<\/p>\n \tMay 27Canadian Experience Class3,000518<\/p>\n \tMay 28French-Language proficiency4,500409<\/p>\n
