On June 5th 2023, Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 500 more Invitations to Apply in the 254th Express Entry Draw. The CRS Score of the lowest ranking candidate in this draw was 486. This was a category specific draw for STEM Occupations.

STEM occupations are occupations related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

The tie breaking rule for this draw was November 23, 2022 00:01:29 UTC. This means that if more than one candidates had the minimum score, then the last candidate to receive the Invitation to Apply, had applied at this time and others receiving invitations had applied before this. Thus anyone who had the same minimum score but applied after this tie breaking time will not be issued an ITA at this time.

This is the 18th round of Express Entry Draws this year.
