Smaller draws (500-1,350 ITAs) push CRS scores to go higher on the contrary, larger draws
\n(3,000-4,000 ITAs) tend to affect cut-off scores and drag them below 530.<\/p>\n

What This Draw Means<\/h3>\n

This draw highlights IRCC’s policy in selecting candidates having Canadian work
\nexperience. With CRS held at 534, IRCC is sending a signal that competition amongst
\nskilled workers is very high, especially with smaller draw sizes.
\nCandidates with a CRS capable of exceeding these scores or those working to improve their
\nprofiles through educational enhancements, work experience or language testing may stand
\nto win in upcoming rounds.<\/p>\n

Next Steps for Invited Candidates<\/h3>\n

\u25cf Application Timeline<\/strong> – Once an ITA is received, a candidate has 60 days<\/strong> to submit
\na complete application for permanent residency.
\n\u25cf Fees<\/strong> – CAD 1,365 per adult.<\/strong>
\n\u25cf Processing Time<\/strong> – IRCC targets to complete all CEC applications within a
\nsix-month<\/strong> timeframe.
\n\u25cf Documents Required<\/strong> – Proof of the Canadian work experience, language test
\nresults, educational credential assessments, police certificates and medical exams.<\/p>\n

Outlook for Future Draws<\/h3>\n

The alternate cycle of smaller targeted draws<\/strong> and bigger all candidates rounds<\/strong> seems to
\nbe a flexible approach to address labor needs in Canada. Applicants are advised to –<\/p>\n

\u25cf Keep updating the profiles in Express Entry regularly.
\n\u25cf Improve CRS either with additional work experience, language enhancements, or
\nPNP nominations.
\n\u25cf Submit as early as possible since tie-breaker rules favor earlier profiles if candidates
\nare at the same score.<\/p>\n\n
