IRCC is conducting an exclusive Express Entry draw for CEC candidates for the second time, after the first one held in 2015. CEC is one of the three major federal economic immigration programs managed under the Express Entry. Candidates   who have at least one year of work experience in Canada and meet other criteria are eligible under CEC.

IRCC applied the tie-break rule in the March 23 draw too and the time stamp given was November 25, 2019, at 14:00:35 UTC. It means only those candidates who had submitted their Express Entry profiles before the said date and time, and scored the minimum CRS points received ITAs in the draw. With the latest draw, the total number of ITAs issued through Express Entry has touched 22600.

Canada has kept this year’s immigration target for Express Entry high. So more frequent and larger Express Entry draws can be expected in the coming months.

The CRS cut-off score for program-specific Express Entry draw like the one held on March 23 tends to be lower as these draws target only a smaller pool of candidates. Today’s draw has given hope for many Canada immigration aspirants as it has been proved that candidates with lower CRS scores may also get a chance to be invited through Express Entry.
