920 PR invitations sent in july’s first express entry draw.

920 Invitations to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residency (PR) were issued out today in connection with the first Express Entry Draw of July.

All Express Entry profiles having a provincial nomination and a comprehensive ranking system (CRS) score of 739 or above were the focus of the draw.

It can be inferred that invited candidates, excluding the provincial nomination, had a CRS score of about 139 because the provincial nomination alone accounted for 600 CRS points.
