Cut-off Score for CEC-Targeted Draw #326 Lowers by 8 points
The cut-off score in this round was set to 539 points, an 8-point decrease compared to the previous draw on November 13, 2024. This brings new hopes to CEC candidates, as it hints that the system is flexible enough to let more applicants join. Individuals with scores of 539 points or higher were invited to apply for permanent residence as part of this CEC-directed draw, which means their distance to Canadian citizenship has been reduced.
Tie-breaking Rule is active
Date and Time the candidates with a mark of 539 established their Express Entry profiles establishes the tie breaking rule for that round: first in rank is the candidate who, at July 8, 2024 01:41:37 UTC has established their profile earliest. In doing so, there is more fairness to this process as well as guarantee of integrity.
A snapshot of the Express Entry Pool
There were 218,167 profiles in the Express Entry pool as of November 18, 2024. This figure is a good indicator of how competitive Canada's immigration system is and is a reminder that having a strong profile increases one's chances of getting through.
Through 48 Express Entry draws so far in 2024, Canada has issued 93,342 invitations, 26,500 of whom are specifically CEC applicants. These statistics again prove how Canada never ceases to ensure that skilled, experienced workers are brought into the country to support the growing workforce and economy.
What Does This Mean for CEC Applicants?
This draw is a great opportunity for CEC applicants to apply for permanent residence in Canada. With the historically low cut-off score and the high volume of invites continuing, 2024 is already shaping up to be a bright year for many prospective immigrants.
Keeping track of the most recent draws and how the entire process works is required in order to ensure that this large number of candidates join the Express Entry pool. How significant Canadian work experience is within the broader context of immigration can be seen by the IRCC targeting such a high number of CEC candidates.

What is the Canadian experience class in Express Entry?
The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is one of the key programs in the Express Entry system, intended for anyone who has accumulated skilled work experience in Canada. Under the CEC program, candidates should have accrued 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 specifically designed for temporary foreign workers and international students who have demonstrated integration in the Canadian labor force.
The EC candidates who seem to meet the required qualifications are allowed to create an Express Entry profile, enter the pool, and later be considered for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Most of the time, this occurs through a CEC-targeted draw, making it highly sought after by interested prospective permanent residents. The Canadian Experience Class is also one of the fastest and most streamlined routes available to those with Canadian work experience to move on to permanent residence.
