On March 21, 2024, Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced plans to increase domestic draws for transitioning temporary residents to permanent ones in Canada. This suggests a possible return of Express Entry Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draws. The last CEC draw was on September 14, 2021, with 2000 CEC applicants invited and a CRS cut-off of 462. Since September 2021, IRCC has shifted from CEC to general, PNP, and Category-based draws. The return of CEC draws may not significantly impact the CRS cut-off due to the trend of general draws.
