---|---|---|---|
January 23 | 4,000 | 527 | Canadian Experience Class |

The recently announced 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan highlights Canada’s commitment to economic immigration, with an emphasis on pathways such as Express Entry. Under the “In-Canada Focus” allocation, IRCC aims to welcome 82,890 new permanent residents through the CEC category in 2025. Moreover, the overall allocation for Express Entry landings has increased from 110,770 in 2024 to 124,590 in 2025.
This rise underscores the growing importance of Express Entry programs for skilled immigrants.
Conversely, the allocation for PNP landings has been halved—from 110,000 in 2024 to 55,000 in 2025. This shift suggests a strategic realignment in Canada’s immigration priorities, placing greater emphasis on candidates who meet the requirements of Express Entry-managed programs.
Below is an updated summary of Express Entry results from 2025, showing the diversity of programs and minimum CRS scores.
The table reflects the diversity of draws conducted this year, ensuring opportunities for candidates across various streams.

Success in the Express Entry system is largely determined by a candidate’s CRS score, which evaluates factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. For prospective applicants looking to enhance their chances of receiving an ITA, the following strategies are recommended:
As IRCC continues to adapt its immigration strategies to meet labor market demands, candidates in the Express Entry pool are encouraged to improve their profiles proactively. The increased allocations for Express Entry in the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan signal a bright future for skilled workers aspiring to make Canada their permanent home.
The next Express Entry draws are highly anticipated, given the ongoing adjustments in immigration policies. Candidates are advised to monitor updates closely and take the necessary steps to stay competitive in the pool.
With the January 23 draw, IRCC has once again demonstrated its commitment to selecting candidates who are well-positioned to contribute to Canada’s economy and society. For those eligible under the Express Entry system, this remains a prime opportunity to achieve their Canadian immigration goals.
