Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 250 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) in a new Express Entry draw targeting senior managers with Canadian work experience on September 16, 2026.
Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 389 to receive an invitation, with the lowest-ranked invited candidate sitting at that score.
IRCC also applied a tie-breaking rule of September 1, 2026 at 23:05:13 UTC, which means that where more than one candidate had the minimum CRS score of 389, the cut-off was based on the date and time their Express Entry profiles were submitted.
The round was conducted under the Senior Managers with Canadian Work Experience, 2026-Version 1 category, making it a targeted draw for candidates who meet the requirements of that group.
