September, 2015
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Express Entry System latest draw was done on September 8, 2015, issuing 1,517 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates in the pool with 459 or more Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points.

The fact that the draw took place on a Tuesday surprised many candidates who received the good news of having received an ITA. These candidates are now in a position to submit an application for Canadian permanent residence. Every previous draw since the Express Entry system was launched in January, 2015 had taken place on a Friday.

The sixteenth Express Entry draw was the seventh in succession in which a number of candidates without a qualifying job offer or an enhanced provincial nomination certificate were selected. It is also the seventh draw in a row in which more than 1,400 candidates were selected.
