The recent Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draw under Express Entry saw a significant drop in the cut-off score to 509, with over 6,000 candidates receiving Invitations to Apply (ITAs). This is the lowest score we’ve seen in 2026.
Key highlights:
– Lowest score in 2026: The cut-off score dropped to 509, making it more accessible for candidates.
– 6,000+ ITAs issued: IRCC invited thousands of candidates who are already in Canada on work or study permits.
– Prioritizing existing talent: This draw is part of Canada’s strategy to retain international talent already contributing to the economy.
