The draw took place on July 8. Only Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates were invited. The CEC is a program aimed at individuals who have at least one year of work experience in Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The minimum required Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score for this draw was 369, an increase of 12 points from the last CEC-only draw. This is also the smallest draw since May 20.<\/p>\n
A day earlier, Canada invited 627 Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates to apply for permanent residence.\u00a0The PNP allows Canadian provinces to select and nominate candidates for permanent residence.<\/p>\n
Invited candidates must have had a CRS score of at least 760. Provincial nominees get an extra 600 points, which means that they must have had just 160 core points.<\/p>\n
Ever since Canada introduced temporary travel restrictions in March 2020 to slow the spread of COVID-19, most Express Entry draws were program-specific.<\/p>\n

Canada uses the\u00a0Express Entry system to manage permanent residence applications through the\u00a0three main economic-class programs<\/p>\n
In addition, all provinces and territories except Quebec and Nunavut have their own immigration programs, and many are aligned with Express Entry.<\/p>\n
Immigration candidates in the Express Entry system are given a CRS score, based on factors like their age, work experience, education, and their proficiency in French or English.<\/p>\n
The highest-scoring candidates in the Express Entry pool are\u00a0regularly invited to apply for permanent residence.<\/p>\n
After receiving an invitation, candidates are required to submit their applications, after which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) make a final decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If a candidate is successful, they will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence and a visa on their passport if they need one to enter Canada. After that,\u00a0they would\u00a0move to Canada and receive their Permanent Residence (PR) card.<\/p>\n
Canada inviting candidates already in the country<\/p>\n
In 2021, Canada has only held Express Entry draws that target candidates who are likely to be in Canada. This is in an effort to admit 401,000 new permanent residents this year.<\/p>\n
PNP candidates often need work experience, study experience or other connections to the province in order to receive a nomination. CEC candidates also need to have at least one year of Canadian work experience in order to be eligible.<\/p>\n
It is therefore likely that these candidates are currently residing in Canada.<\/p>\n
The country also aims to welcome over 400,000 immigrants in 2022 and in 2023.<\/p>\n
Candidates outside Canada can still submit an Express Entry profile despite the COVID-related travel restrictions in place. IRCC continues to accept submissions to the Express Entry system, even from candidates who live overseas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
