To be eligible for this draw, candidates had to receive a minimum of 509 points on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Compared to the previous CEC draw on August 27, which called for a CRS score of 507, this is an increase.

The draw that happened today, September 19, 2024, is the biggest CEC draw since 5,000 candidates received ITAs on July 31.
