Program Type
This was a targeted Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draw, inviting only candidates with eligible Canadian work experience.
What This Draw Means
In Draw #198, IRCC invited 4,500 Express Entry candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence. The minimum CRS score required was 357.
Candidates who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in this round had 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application. Once submitted, Express Entry applications are typically processed within 6 months.
A cutoff of 357 is considered low, making this draw accessible to a wide range of candidates in the Express Entry pool.
