Express Entry Draw #292
March 11, 2026 — Canadian Experience Class
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 #292, IRCC invited 2,250 Express Entry candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence. The minimum CRS score required was 491.
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 491 is considered moderate, accessible to candidates with solid work experience and language scores without necessarily needing a provincial nomination.
