    The minimum CRS score required in this draw represents the lowest of the year for a non-category-based selection, notably dropping below the previous CEC-only draw on May 31, which required a CRS score of 522.

    IRCC has issued a cumulative total of 17,361 ITAs throughout July across six separate draws. Just yesterday, the department invited 1,391 candidates in a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)-only draw, where candidates needed a CRS score of 670. Earlier this month, on July 8, IRCC invited 3,200 candidates in a category-based draw focusing on French proficiency.

    PNP-only draws typically see higher CRS score requirements due to candidates receiving an additional 600 points upon successful nomination. This boost significantly enhances the CRS scores of those selected, allowing candidates with lower initial scores to qualify for ITAs.

    Express Entry draws are crucial for skilled immigrants looking to settle permanently in Canada, as they provide pathways for individuals with Canadian work experience or provincial nominations to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

    Express Entry Draw Reports

    Why is Express Entry the most popular Canadian Immigration program?

    Express Entry stands as Canada’s premier immigration pathway, renowned for its efficiency and popularity among skilled workers worldwide. This points-based system manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.

    It provides a streamlined process, allowing candidates to create profiles detailing their skills, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Candidates are ranked based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which evaluates various factors. Regular draws are conducted, inviting candidates with the highest CRS scores to apply for permanent residence.

    Express Entry’s transparency, speed, and alignment with Canada’s labor market needs have made it the cornerstone of Canada’s immigration strategy, attracting skilled individuals eager to contribute to the country’s economic growth and diversity.

    What is the Canadian Experience Class of Express Entry?

    The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is a category within the Express Entry system designed for skilled workers who have acquired at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada. This program aims to facilitate the transition of temporary foreign workers and international graduates who have demonstrated their ability to integrate into the Canadian labor market.

    Candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria, including language proficiency in English or French, and are assessed based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score that considers factors such as age, education, work experience, and adaptability. Successful candidates under the CEC pathway may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence, allowing them to contribute their skills and experiences to Canada’s economy and society permanently.
