IRCC invites 5,000 Canadian Experience Class applicants. Applicants required a minimum score of 510 to be considered.
Today’s draw was the ninth of an already busy month for Express Entry. In total IRCC has issued 25,125 ITAs throughout the month of July.
Draws this month have been alternating between program-specific draws, like the Canadian Experience Class and Provincial Nominee Program, and category-based selection draws.
In category-based draws, most ITAs have gone to candidates who showcase French language proficiency, totaling 5,000 ITAs over two draws. IRCC also issued 3,750 ITAs to healthcare applicants on July 5 and 1,800 to applicants in trade professions on July 4.
A high number of ITAs have also been issued in program-specific draws. As of July 18, IRCC has invited around 6,300 Canadian Experience Class applicants and 2,311 PNP applicants. Applicants in both programs often already reside and work in Canada as temporary residents. The return to program-specific draws on May 30 after a full year without them aligns with IRCC’s previously announced intention to hold more domestic draws.
In March 2024, IRCC introduced a new goal of reducing as well as stabilizing the number of temporary residents in Canada while also meeting its permanent resident targets, as outlined in the Immigration Levels Plan.

What Is Express Entry?
Express Entry is responsible for managing three economic immigration programs, i.e., Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, and Federal Skilled Trades Program.
These are three of Canada’s most significant economic immigration programs. They use the Comprehensive Ranking System to evaluate applicants based on human capital attributes such as education, age, profession, language capabilities, work experience, etc.
Each factor is given a score, and taken together, they make up an applicant’s overall CRS score. Based on these human capital factors, candidates are deemed more likely to contribute to Canada’s workforce and strengthen its demographics. The higher the score, the more likely they are to receive an ITA.
Moreover, Express Entry aims to facilitate faster processing for highly skilled applicants. The department has a six-month published service standard for processing Express Entry applications.
What Is Category-Based Selection?
IRCC invites 5,000 Canadian Experience Class applicants. Well, in order to further target candidates with the skills or attributes Canada needs, the immigration department introduced category-based selection draws in May 2023. The categories were chosen following consultations with external and internal stakeholders. They are:
- Healthcare
- STEM Professions
- Trades
- Transport
- French Language Proficiency
- Agriculture and Agri-Food Professions
These categories will remain in place throughout the remainder of 2024 but might change next year.
