On the 6th of July 2022 the Canadian Immigration Minister made it known.

“In a written statement to CIC News, Canada’s Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said: 

“Today, I am pleased to announce that Express Entry draws have officially resumed and applications will be processed at our 6 month processing standard.

I look forward to welcoming skilled workers who will are essential in addressing Canada’s labour shortages.” 

This marks the first time since September 2021 that CEC candidates have been included in an Express Entry draw. 

The return of all-program draws is also major news for CEC candidates. The CEC is the primary way for Canada’s large international student and foreign worker population to gain permanent residence. The CEC has increased in prominence in recent years as Canada has relied on this pool to achieve its immigration levels targets. Prior to the pandemic, the CEC comprised just 9% of all 341,000 immigrants welcomed under Canada’s economic, family, and humanitarian classes combined. Last year, the CEC comprised nearly one-third of the over 405,000 immigrants who landed in Canada.
