IRCC INVITED 4,000 CANADIAN EXPERIENCE CLASS CANDIDATES

On January 23, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted a new Express Entry draw specifically targeting candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). During round #333, IRCC issued 4,000 Invitations to Apply (ITA), marking a significant opportunity for individuals with Canadian work experience to advance toward permanent residency.

The cut-off Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score for this draw was 527 points, reflecting a decrease of 15 points compared to the previous CEC-targeted draw. The tie-breaking rule was established for profiles submitted before July 23, 2024, at 07:06:43 UTC.

This draw adds to the year’s progress, with Canada issuing a total of 5,821 invitations across three Express Entry draws so far in 2025. These early invitations underscore Canada’s dedication to retaining skilled workers who have already contributed to the country’s economy and society.
