For the first time since December 2020, Canada invited a total of 1500 FSWP (Federal Skilled Worker program) candidates on Wednesday, July 7.
As Canada’s Immigration Minister had promised earlier this year, the first Express Entry draw was finally resumed.
Furthermore, CEC (Canadian Experience Class) draws which were paused in September 2021 due to backlogs, were resumed on July 7 too. IRCC paused CEC invitations in September 2021 in order to address its application backlogs.
It should be mentioned that the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cut-off score was 557.
