July has now become the best month for Express Entry, with 17,361 invitations to apply sent out so far, surpassing the 16,110 sent in February 2024.

This is the second-largest draw of the year, with only the French-speaking draw in February exceeding it. It's a clear sign that IRCC is prioritizing skilled workers who've already gained valuable experience in Canada.

This is the highest number of invitations issued specifically for CEC candidates since December 2022, indicating a growing focus on attracting skilled workers with Canadian work experience.

Good news for CEC candidates

This is a positive development for skilled workers who have already gained Canadian experience through work programs or permanent job offers. A low CRS score of 515 was required for this draw, making it the lowest score of the year so far for a non-category-based selection draw. This suggests that even more CEC candidates can expect invitations in upcoming draws.

Express Entry System and CEC

The Express Entry system is a points-based system managed by the Canadian government to invite skilled workers to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is a program under Express Entry that targets skilled workers with recent Canadian work experience.
