Find Out If You Are Eligible For Express Entry Canada

This Express Entry draw marks another significant round for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) in 2024. Candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 539 or higher were invited to apply for permanent residency. For those with the same lowest score, the cut-off was determined by the submission date of their Express Entry profiles.

The Canadian Experience Class is targeted towards skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and wish to become permanent residents. This program is crucial to Canada’s immigration strategy, as it recognizes the contributions of those who have already supported the economy.

In today’s draw, 400 Invitations to Apply (ITA) were issued to Canadian Experience Class candidates, with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) of 547.

In the last CEC Draw (#320), 400 ITAs were issued to Canadian Experience Class candidates with a minimum CRS score of 547

Understanding the Canadian Experience Class

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is an immigration stream within Canada’s Express Entry system, tailored for temporary foreign workers and international student graduates who have acquired skilled work experience in Canada. This program helps them move from temporary status to permanent residency.

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

The IRCC updates the number of people in the Express Entry pool a few days before an invitation round takes place. Numbers change as new profiles are submitted, profiles expire or are issued an ITA.
