  Express Entry: CRS 401 in new CEC draw


Canada invites 4,147 Express Entry candidates to apply for PR

Canada held another Express Entry round of invitations with a low score requirement on May


Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited candidates who had scores of at least 401, just one point more than the previous comparable draw. Candidates also must have been eligible for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), meaning they had at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada, and intermediate language proficiency in English or French.


IRCC published the cutoff time for the tie-break rule, as per administrative requirements. It does not necessarily mean there was an actual tie.  Candidates who had the minimum score of 401 were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry profile before April 29, 2021 at 11:48:14  UTC.


All CEC candidates have previous experience in the Canadian labour market, this is a major component of the eligibility criteria,” said David Cohen, Senior Attorney of Campbell Cohen. “Having Canadian experience correlates with higher instances of employment, and higher earnings.


Overview of Express Entry in 2021

There have been 66,475 candidates invited so far in 2021. The number of invitations issued this year is far out-pacing last year’s rate. This could be because IRCC is holding larger draws, including the February 13 draw where every single CEC candidate was invited to apply.


As part of an effort to admit 401,000 new permanent residents this year amid travel restrictions, IRCC has consistently held draws that target candidates who are likely already in Canada. Both CEC and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates have high numbers of candidates in Canada.


The score requirements are vastly different in CEC and PNP draws. CEC draws typically require lower scores because these candidates are not competing with other candidates for invitations. As a result, the larger draw sizes allow candidates with lower scores to be invited. The previous CEC-only draw only required candidates to have a score of 400.

PNP candidates automatically get an 600 points, which means their score requirements are considerably higher.

Canada & Australia Immigration Plan  Canada and Australia have pursued completely different immigration plans in recent years—a trend which has continued during the coronavirus crisis. Australia Sydney Immigration is critical to the economic health of both Canada and Australia. In recent decades, the two countries have become increasingly reliant on new permanent residents and temporary visa holders such as international students and foreign workers to support their population, labour force, and economic growth. International students are a useful proxy to help us understand the economic benefits of immigration in both countries. International students contribute some $22 billion annually to the Canadian economy, supporting 170,000 jobs in the process. They contribute $39 billion to Australia’s economy each year and support 240,000 jobs.
