The draw was held on <strong data-start=\"244\" data-end=\"266\">September 29, 2026<\/strong>, with the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score set at <strong data-start=\"333\" data-end=\"340\">518<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"596\">The latest draw follows Canada&#8217;s ongoing use of program-specific Express Entry rounds for candidates with Canadian work experience.

The CEC is designed for skilled workers who have eligible Canadian work experience and want to become permanent residents.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1812\">Under the CEC, candidates generally need at least <strong data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1572\">one year or 1,560 hours of eligible skilled Canadian work experience within the three years before applying<\/strong>. The experience must meet the applicable requirements for skilled work under Canada&#8217;s occupational classification system. Candidates must also meet the required language standards in English or French.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"ztuuay\" data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"1844\">Express Entry and CRS Score<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2230\">Express Entry manages applications for Canada&#8217;s three federal economic immigration programs: the <strong data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"2039\">Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program and Federal Skilled Trades Program<\/strong>. Eligible candidates create an Express Entry profile and are ranked using the CRS. IRCC then invites candidates through different rounds of invitations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2232\" data-end=\"2456\">The CRS considers factors such as <strong data-start=\"2266\" data-end=\"2358\">age, education, language ability, Canadian work experience and other profile information<\/strong>. Candidates can monitor their CRS score and update their profile when their circumstances change.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"eexixu\" data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2493\">Opportunities for CEC Candidates<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2692\">Candidates with eligible Canadian work experience can review their eligibility for the Canadian Experience Class and ensure their Express Entry profiles contain accurate and up-to-date information.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2694\" data-end=\"2728\">Important areas to review include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2730\" data-end=\"2908\">\n<li data-section-id=\"z0jn08\" data-start=\"2730\" data-end=\"2756\">Canadian work experience<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1t8xl8x\" data-start=\"2757\" data-end=\"2786\">NOC and TEER classification<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"o1xxvx\" data-start=\"2787\" data-end=\"2828\">English or French language test results<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"br2rfe\" data-start=\"2829\" data-end=\"2852\">Education credentials<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"18iy9j0\" data-start=\"2853\" data-end=\"2875\">Personal information<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1cz2um7\" data-start=\"2876\" data-end=\"2908\">Express Entry profile validity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2910\" data-end=\"3091\">Candidates with foreign education may also receive CRS points if they have an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for immigration purposes.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"9lfzu7\" data-start=\"3093\" data-end=\"3129\">What to Do If You Received an ITA<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3131\" data-end=\"3274\">Candidates who received an <strong data-start=\"3158\" data-end=\"3187\">Invitation to Apply (ITA)<\/strong> in the September 29 draw should begin preparing their permanent residence application.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3276\" data-end=\"3513\">Applicants should ensure that their supporting documents are complete and that the information in their application matches the information provided in their Express Entry profile.
