Most of them, 77,550 candidates, are between 450 and 500 CRS with the lower scoring candidates in the pool facing a lot of competition.
PNP (12 draws), Canadian Experience Class (CEC) (6 draws), French-language proficiency (3 draws) and certain categories (such as healthcare and education) have been given priority by IRCC this year in line with the Canadian 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan.
Anticipation for a CEC Draw This Week
On Tuesday, July 8, or Wednesday, July 9, as of the latest pattern of the bi-weekly draw of IRCC, the agency is supposed to conduct a draw under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
On June 26, 2025, the final CEC draw, a CRS cut-off of 521 was issued by 3,000 ITAs, 26 points lower than in the previous CEC draw on May 13, 2025.
Considering the distribution of pool and the past trends, the CEC draw this week may result in the CRS cut-off of around 515 in case such a number of invitations are issued.
This forecast examines the fact that IRCC targets in-Canada applicants with skilled work experiences and that it has to attain 2025 immigration projections.
What Candidates Can Do
Once you are in the Express Entry pool, ensure your profile is kept updated so as to have the highest number of points in terms of CRS.
In case of people whose scores are lower than 520, extra Canadian work experience or better results in language tests may be significant factors.
The list also includes updating your proof of funds in Express Entry profile to support your eligibility. The expiration of the upgrade is on July 28, 2025.
To get through the process, consultation with a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) can be suggested.
The strong economy and the open approach of Canada means that obtaining an ITA is still a dream come true of any abilities of any skilled worker in the world.
Wait on the updates on the next draw and check your Express Entry profile to know whether you were lucky to be invited among the beautiful candidates this week!
