The latest Express Entry round of invitations, targeting candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), took place on January 8, 2025. This round issued 1,350 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates eager to make Canada their permanent home.

Key highlights of this round include:

  • Minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score: 542
  • Number of Invitations Issued: 1,350
  • Rank Needed to Receive an ITA: 1,350 or higher
  • Tie-breaking Rule: December 7, 2024, at 01:10:06 UTC.

This means that if multiple candidates had a CRS score of 542, only those who submitted their Express Entry profiles before the tie-breaking date and time received an invitation.

What Does This Mean for Applicants?

The CRS cut-off of 542 in this round signals a competitive pool, reflecting the high demand for permanent residency under the Canadian Experience Class. Candidates who fell below the cut-off should consider strategies to improve their CRS score, such as:

  • Obtaining a higher language test score.
  • Gaining additional Canadian work experience or education.
  • Securing a provincial nomination for a significant CRS boost.

We will report future draws as they are published.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by the Canadian Immigration law firm, particularly Attorney Andres. From the outset, their dedication to resolving my Canadian immigration matters was evident. Attorney Andres exemplified professionalism and empathy, dedicating ample time to understand my situation during our appointments. His communication skills were exemplary; he not only actively listened but also ensured clarity by summarizing our discussions and outlining the next steps via email promptly. Moreover, Attorney Andres’ profound knowledge of Canadian law was evident throughout the process, enabling him to navigate our various immigration matters effectively.
