The draw, held on September 14, comes days after a Provincial Nominee Program-specific Express Entry draw was held on September 1. Usually, a CEC-only Express Entry draw takes place just a day after the PNP-only draw.

Canada Express Entry continues to focus on CEC and PNP-specific Express Entry candidates as they are likely to be in the country at the time of receiving the invitation. Because of this reason, they need to travel to Canada amidst restrictions imposed in the wake of COVID-19. Besides work experience in Canada is a major eligibility factor under the Canadian Experience Class. To receive an Express Entry invitation under the Canadian Experience Class, the candidates must have minimum one year of full-time Canadian work experience in a skilled occupation.

Express Entry invitations double from 2020

Compared to the year 2020, the number of Express Entry ITAs issued this year has almost doubled. So it is all likely that the IRCC will meet its annual target of admitting 108500 newcomers through Express Entry in 2021.

Compared to PNP-only Express Entry draws, the CRS score requirement remain typically low with CEC-only draws. First of all, the candidates do not have to compete with any other categories as in the case of all-program draws. At the same time, PNP candidates receive 600 additional CRS score points along with provincial nomination. So CRS cut-off score remain typically high in PNP-only Express Entry draws. 764 for was the minimum CRS score required to receive an invitation in the PNP-only Express Entry draw held on September 1.
