Today’s cut-off score of 332 was 106 points lower than the lowest cut-off score this year in an all-program Express Entry draw, which was 438.
“Today’s draw is a good reminder of the value of having your skilled trades qualifications certified if you have the required experience,” said David Cohen, senior partner with the Campbell, Cohen Canadian immigration law firm in Montreal.
“It’s also a good reminder of how innovation can happen at any time at the federal or provincial levels and open doors you may not be expecting.”
