IRCC invited CEC applicants in the latest Express Entry draw. The department issued over 400 ITAs in this latest draw. Also, applicants required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 539 in order to be considered. 

This is the second week in a row that Express Entry draws have occurred. 

Furthermore, the previous week, 1,933 ITAs were issued to applicants in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program, PNP applicants, and applicants with French-language proficiency. 

Federal targets for immigration through the Express Entry system will increase next year. In addition, the immigration department hopes to welcome over 124,680 Express Entry applicants to Canada in the next year. 

Moreover, more than 82,000 of these admissions will be for a new category for Express Entry applicants in Canada. Also, this category will be for CEC applicants in the Express Entry pool. However, it might also include applicants in the FSWP, FSTP, and PNP-aligned Express Entry streams. 

According to the latest Levels Plan, the remaining 41,700 permanent residency applications are for the ‘Federal Economic Priorities’ category. Thus, this category will invite applicants in the latest Express Entry pool who have professional experience in in-demand professions. 

What Is Express Entry? 

IRCC invited CEC applicants in the latest Express Entry draw. Express Entry oversees three major economic immigration programs for those seeking Canadian PR: the CEC, the FSTP, and the FSWP. 

Applicants in these programs are assessed through the CRS, which assigns scores based on human capital factors like age, education, language capability, work experience, etc. 

Additional points are for having a sibling in Canada, applying with a spouse/ partner, or combining education and work experience from Canada and abroad. 

Moreover, applicants who have obtained a provincial nomination through an enhanced PNP stream can obtain an extra 600 points. 

Applicants with the highest CRS scores are the most likely to obtain an ITA in future Express Entry draws, provided that they meet the specific draw’s criteria.
