Canada just announced an Express Entry draw for Transport Occupations. 670 candidates were invited with scores starting at just 435 CRS points in the new category-based draw.
The CRS cut-off in the new draw was slightly higher than the Trades draw one day before, which required at least 425 CRS points. The reason is likely tied to the smaller number of candidates invited.
Background of Transport Occupations Draws
This is the second Transport draw ever. The first was held on September 20. This is now the third draw this week following a general draw on Monday and a Trades draw on Tuesday. In total, there have been six draws in December after Canada held no draws during November.

Express Entry draw analysis based on today’s category-based draw
Only two transport draws have ever occurred. Despite inviting 1,000 candidates, the first draw on September 20 had a minimum CRS cut-off of 435.
The pool of high-scoring applicants eligible for Transport draws may not have increased considerably if the CRS remained the same in this draw, where 670 candidates were invited.
If it had expanded, we would anticipate that a CRS score that was greater would result from inviting just 670 candidates.
