IRCC Holds Express Entry Draw #326 for Candidates in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Stream

 


IRCC conducted the most recent CEC-targeted draw, which targeted the candidates of the Canadian Experience Class, on November 19, 2024. This was the tenth CEC-targeted draw of 2024 under which 400 ITAs were issued to the eligible candidates.

Cut-off Score for CEC-Targeted Draw #326 Falls by 8 Points

A cutoff score of 539 was adopted in the current draw which was still 8 points below a previous November 13, 2024, draw. Thus, with its decrease, a CEC candidate's new hope materialized from the possibility it suggests flexibility to integrate more in this system to allow admission of applicants and, indeed, applicants have scores over 539 on which their access to this permanent resident route under a CEC-targeted intake has thus cut the access road considerably in attaining Canadian citizenship.

The Breaking Rule Applies

The tie-breaking rule for applicants who score 539 is the date and time at which their Express Entry profiles were created. Individuals whose profiles were established prior to July 8, 2024, at 01:41:37 UTC rank higher than those whose profiles were made after this time. In this way, it remains fair by choosing applicants first who have been in the pool the longest while staying true to integrity in this selection process.

Express Entry Pool Snapshot

As of November 18, 2024, the Express Entry pool contains 218,167 profiles; this is a reflection of how competitive Canada's immigration system is. A more balanced profile greatly increases a candidate's chances of being invited.

What Does This Mean for CEC Candidates?

This draw is an opportunity for CEC candidates, who will be able to apply for permanent residency in Canada. With the cut-off score being the lowest it has ever been and the continued high number of invitations being issued, 2024 may be a promising year for many potential immigrants.


It is very important for candidates in the Express Entry pool to stay updated with the latest draws and how the whole process works. IRCC's focus on inviting a large number of CEC applicants underlines the significance of Canadian work experience in the overall immigration process.

The Canadian experience class is the third component of the Express Entry

The Canadian Experience Class is one of the main programs in the Express Entry system, which is for anyone who has gained skilled work experience in Canada. Under the CEC program, candidates should have acquired at least one year of full-time work or equivalent part-time experience in Canada. This should be in an NOC 0, A, or B position within three years of applying.

The program is for temporary foreign workers and international students who have shown integration in the Canadian labor force.

Those EC candidates who appear to be qualified are permitted to create an Express Entry profile, enter the pool, and then be considered later for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

In most cases, it comes as a CEC-targeted draw that is very highly competed after by interested potential permanent residents. The Canadian Experience Class is also one of the fastest and most streamlined available to those who have acquired work experience in Canada.

Former International Students Dominated Express Entry Invitations in 2023

  Most of the remaining 49 percent of the immigration slots in Express Entry in 2023 were occupied by international students who received Express Entry invitations and are eager to advance to permanent residency as soon as possible. Of a staggering 46 of the persons that got an ITA, 2% got further points for having a Canadian education, making it one of the best ways for hopeful immigrants. Canadian Education: A Key to Permanent Residency and Express Entry Invitations For a Canadian education, it’s not about getting a degree; it is about preparing oneself for life. This means that the majority of the invited candidates possess at least three years of post-secondary degree education; thus, higher education is almost mandatory for individuals seeking to be selected in the Express Entry pool. This advantage is especially significant since there are expected effects of the 2024 capping of international student permits. Education in Canada helps one to be part of the country and has a w...
