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

Author By EUIC Admin Categories Express Entry

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.

See below the details of Express Entry draw of September 19

  • Program: Canadian Experience Class
  • Number of invitations issued: 4,000
  • Rank required to be invited to apply: 4,000 or above
  • Date of round: September 19, 2024
  • CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 509

0-300 5,457
Total 207,762

Pathway to Permanent Residency

For those who received an ITA in this draw, the next step is to submit a complete application for permanent residency. The process typically involves providing documentation to prove work experience, language proficiency, and other relevant qualifications. Successful applicants will gain access to a range of benefits, including the ability to live and work anywhere in Canada and access to healthcare and social services.
