4500 PR invitation in the first STEM Express Entry draw of 2024.

4,500 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency were given out today for the first express entry draw of 2024, which targeted 24 STEM occupations.

After about four months, the much anticipated STEM targeted the round of invites, which raised the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score to 491 from the previous STEM-only draw.

One day earlier, on April 10, 2024, an all-program draw was held as the final draw. 1,280 ITAs with a 549 minimum CRS were issued.

Canada intends to exceed its record immigration target of 465,000 invitations for permanent residency in 2024, having set a target of 465,000 for 2023.
