Express Entry draw as on date 15th October 2018 Invited 3,900 candidates with CRS cut-off 440.
This draw took place within 12 days unlike its usual duration of 2 weeks.
A tiebreaker was applied to this draw as well and the date and time used were September 18, 2018, at 11:06:29 UTC. This means that all candidates with a CRS score above 440, as well as those candidates with scores of 440 who submitted their profile before this specified date and time, received an ITA in this invitation round.
Larger draw in short duration of time can be the reason for drop-in CRS by 5 points.
