Earlier today, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held an Express Entry draw for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). In today’s draw, 5,000 applicants with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 449 received an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

This is the first CEC draw held by IRCC since the February 13 draw which invited all the candidates in the CEC pool. It may be a sign that IRCC is returning to regularly inviting 5,000 CEC applicants at a time with a more competitive score during each round. Nevertheless, we encourage anyone who qualifies for the CEC stream to create an Express Entry profile, as trends are hard to predict during COVID-19.

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. His thorough analysis revealed potential roadblocks, prompting him to proactively engage with government agencies to obtain necessary details, all without incurring additional costs. The firm’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction sets them apart. I highly recommend their services to anyone navigating Canadian immigration complexities. Thank you, Attorney Andres and the entire team, for your unwavering support and expertise.

It was an exceptional experience with border law firm. They take time to understand client situation and offer the best option. Devika is well knowledgeable lawyer and easy to connect with. John took care of my case and went above and beyond my expectation. He was always there to answer my question. The most responsible lawyer I ever meet, to meet my deadlines, I know he worked many evenings and weekends. I strongly recommend this law firm. In fact no one should go to consultant. My each and every penny spend with this firm is worth more. I am thankful to Devika and John for helping me and my family for our immigration needs.
