As of July 2022, the IRCC has invited 1,500 express entry candidates to apply for permanent residency. This is amazing news for those who have been waiting for upwards of two years (since 2020), which is the last official date that this entry was performed. Here at Yara’s Immigration, we want to talk all about express entry as well as how you can apply so your experience is easy to navigate.
What is Express Entry?
On the first of January 2015, Express Entry began and potential candidates were able to make expressions of interests and create a profile by providing info with things such as their work experience, language abilities, skills, education and more. If they ended up being eligible for at least one of the many programs available, they could then enter what is known as the “Express Entry pool”. This was considered the main pathway for the country to address their issue with labour shortages. It is estimated that by 2024, Canada will have welcomed approximately 110,000 federal skilled workers every year.
What is the CEC?
The CEC is a category for those who wish to live as permanent residents within Canada. In most cases, temporary foreign workers are the ideal candidates for those who want permanent residency. Since these individuals have obtained Canadian work experience, they have already greatly adapted to a Canadian lifestyle and have made important connections both in their work life and their personal life. CEC applications are processed through the express entry system and must go through the entire process to qualify. This means they must show interest, create an express entry profile, and receive the proper invitation. After this is all completed, they have the chance to become a permanent resident. The CEC is especially important for international students who have completed all of their work experience and wish to stay in Canada permanently.
