Read moreImagine this: You're sitting across from a friend, coffee in hand, as you read about the latest developments in Canadian immigration. Exciting news just dropped!
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 1,250 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates in the trade occupations category. Yes, you heard that right! This is a golden opportunity for many.
So, what do you need to jump on this chance?
- A minimum CRS score of 505.
- You must have created your Express Entry profile before 10:36 PM UTC on November 5, 2025.
But here's the thing: getting that score may feel daunting. You might be thinking, “Can I really get there?” Well, let's break it down together!
For instance, the previous draw in this trade category had a significantly lower cut-off of 433. This surge in the CRS score is due to the increased number of candidates as draws have been somewhat sparse lately. So, it's crucial to stay competitive.
And get this: IRCC has big plans! It anticipates issuing another 3,300 ITAs for the trade category in the latter half of 2025. This means that if you're still in the running, there are chances yet!
Remember, every step you take brings you closer to your dream of living and working in Canada. Keep your profile updated, aim for that CRS score, and stay informed on the next draws. Your future in Canada is bright!
