Where more than one candidate had the minimum CRS score of 470, the cut-off was determined by the date and time their Express Entry profiles were submitted.<\/p>\n<p>The August 7 draw follows a busy week for Express Entry invitations. IRCC held a Provincial Nominee Program draw on August 4, followed by a Canadian Experience Class draw on August 5 and a French-language proficiency draw on August 6.<\/p>\n<p>The latest invitation round targeted eligible candidates in transport occupations, reflecting IRCC\u2019s use of category-based selection to invite candidates with work experience in occupations identified under specific economic priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates who received an ITA can now proceed with their permanent residence applications and should ensure that the information in their Express Entry profiles remains accurate and that all required supporting documents are prepared before submission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Draw Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Draw category:<\/strong> Transport Occupations, 2026-Version 2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date:<\/strong> August 7, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invitations issued:<\/strong> 300<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimum CRS score:<\/strong> 470<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rank needed:<\/strong> 300 or above<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tie-breaking rule:<\/strong> October 11, 2025, at 14:55:49 UTC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/news\/2026\/08\/06\/canada-invites-5000-french-language-candidates-in-latest-express-entry-draw\/\">See the previous rounds of invitation here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you received an Invitation to Apply or want to understand your chances in upcoming Express Entry draws, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/book-an-appointment\/\">book a consultation with Sehli Global<\/a> for guidance based on your circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 300 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residence in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-immigration-news","article","has-background","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
