Express Entry CEC invites 6000 candidates with lower score

IRCC held another Express Entry for Canadian Experience Class on June 24 issuing 6000 invitations to Apply (ITA) to the candidates with the cut-off Comprehensive Ranking (CRS) score 357 points.

The selected candidates are required to have at least one year of work experience in a skilled occupation in Canada to be eligible for the draw along with intermediate language proficiency skill in English or French.

The tie breaking rule was implemented in this draw for the profiles that were submitted before February 17, 2021 at 10:15:50 UTC. The candidates who have minimum score of 368 points would have received the invitation provided they have submitted their profile before the given time. This was a major Express Entry draw held with quite low CRS requirement.

This draw has the second lowest score after the 27,000+ candidates were invited in February with score of 75 points.

This is another huge draw from IRCC for Canadian Experience Class where they are inviting the candidates who are already working in Canada and have experience of working there. IRCC, in order to fulfil their targets to invite the immigrants, holds the draw for the candidates who are already within borders and offers them opportunity to secure PR.

In Canadian Experience Class the cut-off score has been declining continuously making it easier for the applicant to apply for PR.

It is time when the candidates across globe would be getting desperate for an all-program draw where they may have chance to receive ITA. But considering the uncertainty of the border restrictions, it is unlikely to happen soon. However, it totally depends upon policy of IRCC how they would like to fulfil their target of inviting immigrants from around the world.

Express Entry is a system that the federal government uses to manage applications for Canada’s three main economic-class programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). In addition to that, the most provinces also have immigration streams that are aligned with the Express Entry system.

In the Express Entry system, candidates are ranked based on their CRS score that considers multiple factors including their age, work experience, education and proficiency in French or English. In some cases, the date and time at which the Express Entry profile was created is also a ranking factor.
