The first Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Express Entry draw of September issued 4,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency (PR).
Candidates in this draw needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 509, which is 2 points higher than the previous CEC-specific draw.
This is the 6th Express Entry draw in 2024 focused exclusively on CEC candidates, bringing the total number of invitations for this group to 24,800 this year.
Despite the recent rise, the cutoff score has dropped by 13 points compared to the first CEC draw in May 2024.
The CEC draws resumed following a statement by Immigration Minister Marc Miller, who highlighted that transitioning temporary residents to permanent status is one strategy to manage the country’s growing temporary resident population.
