Express Entry competition eases as high-scoring profiles drop 30%

Canada's Express Entry pool is showing signs of reduced competition at the top tier for the second consecutive month. Between January 4 and February 2, over 6,200 profiles with CRS scores above 501 exited the system, marking a significant 29% decrease in the 501-600 range alone. While the overall pool expanded by 2,366 candidates, the reduction in high-scoring applicants suggests improving prospects for mid-range candidates seeking permanent residence invitations. Immigration experts note this trend could benefit those with lower CRS scores, as fewer top-tier candidates now occupy the higher rankings during invitation rounds.
