Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 2,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to Canadian Experience Class candidates in the latest Express Entry draw held on September 15, 2026.
Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 519 to receive an invitation, with the lowest-ranked invited candidate sitting at that score.
IRCC also applied a tie-breaking rule of March 26, 2026 at 00:16:39 UTC, which means that where more than one candidate had the minimum CRS score of 519, priority was based on the date and time their Express Entry profiles were submitted.
The round focused on the Canadian Experience Class, one of the federal economic immigration programs managed through Express Entry and designed for skilled workers who already have qualifying Canadian work experience.
For candidates who received an ITA, the next step is to submit a complete permanent residence application within 60 days and ensure all supporting documents are properly prepared before the deadline.
