September 2024 CEC Express Entry Draw: 4,000 Candidates Invited for PR

Dear future neighbour,

On September 19, 2024, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its first Express Entry draw of the year specifically targeting candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). In this draw, a total of 4,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency were issued, marking a significant step for many international graduates and skilled workers in Canada.

Targeting Canadian Experience Class Candidates

This draw was notable for its exclusive focus on the CEC, a program designed for individuals who have gained work experience in Canada. The CEC is particularly attractive to international students and temporary foreign workers, as it recognizes their contributions to the Canadian labor market and offers a pathway to permanent residency.

To qualify, candidates needed a comprehensive ranking system (CRS) score of 509 or higher. The CRS is a points-based system used to assess and score profiles in the Express Entry pool, considering factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. A score of 509 indicates a competitive standing in the pool, and receiving an ITA is a significant achievement for these candidates.
