On 31st May, the first Express Entry Draw for the Canadian Experience Class sent out 3,000 invitations to apply for permanent residency since September 2021. This is good news for the applicants with the CEC profile, however, the cutoff was high at 522.
Now that the CEC has resumed the draw, the chances of decreasing the cut-off depend on the frequency and size of the round of invitations.
