What are your chances of receiving ITA with a CRS score ranging between 450-500?

Did not receive an ITA (Invitation to Apply) this year despite having a decent CRS Point Score? Well, it is not your case only, as there are several Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category Express Entry candidates waiting for their ITA this year. The Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has only conducted the program-specific draws this year. As a result the candidates with CRS scoreranging between 450 and 500 are still not sure when will they get the ITA (Invitation to Apply) for Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) from IRCC.

Can you get ITA in next few draws?

As per the Express Entry pool status on April 12, 2021 the number of candidates in the pool with the CRS score ranging between 451-500 is nearly 30,040. Hence, considering this huge number, it is likely that the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will not delay the all-program draw for long and invite the candidates under Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category as well. Having said the same, what will happen in the next draw, only IRCC can know.However, what will be the CRS score requirement; can be a point of discussion.
