Find Out If You Are Eligible For Express Entry Canada

Today’s draw marked the 4th Canadian Experience Class (CEC) specific program draw of 2024.

In this round, candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 509 or higher received Invitations to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. For candidates with the same lowest score, the cut-off was determined by the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.

This draw was specifically aimed at candidates under the Canadian Experience Class, which is designed for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and wish to become permanent residents.

In today’s draw, 3,200 Invitations to Apply (ITA) were issued to Canadian Experience Class candidates, with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) of 509.

In the last CEC Draw (#307), 5000 ITAs were sent to Canadian Experience Class candidates with a minimum CRS score of 510.

What Is Canadian Experience Class and How Can I Apply?

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program is an immigration stream under the Express Entry system in Canada, specifically designed for certain temporary foreign workers and foreign student graduates who have already gained skilled work experience in Canada. This program aims to help these individuals transition from temporary to permanent residence status.

CEC is managed under the Express Entry system and uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank interested candidates. Applicants who have competitive CRS scores will receive invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
