Express Entry invites 5000 CEC candidates

Canada continues to welcome 108 500 newcomers through the Express Entry programs.

The candidates need to be eligible for the CEC and have a score of at least 449 to receive the Invitation to Apply. CEC candidates need to have one year of work experience or language skills along with other criteria.

After the February 13, 2021 draw of IRCC inviting CEC candidates a total of 27,332, today`s draw is the successive draw after that.
