The Express Entry pool sees a dramatic shift as the number of high-scoring candidates surges

Canada's Express Entry system has experienced a notable transformation in recent weeks, with approximately 11% of all candidates now holding CRS scores exceeding 500 points. While the overall pool contracted by 2,547 profiles between late October and early November, the competitive landscape has intensified significantly. The number of candidates in the highest scoring bracket (601-1,200) more than doubled from 306 to 696, while the 501-600 range expanded by 417 profiles. This shift suggests a growing concentration of provincial nominees and highly qualified applicants, making the pathway to permanent residence increasingly competitive for mid-range candidates.
