This marks the third Express Entry draw of the week. The previous draw, held on November 13, invited 400 candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program.
Today’s draw is the third for November and follows the release of Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan for 2025. As part of the Plan, IRCC aims to welcome 124,680 Express Entry candidates next year.
Those who received an ITA today will be counted toward next year’s admissions targets, either through the new In-Canada Focus targets for Express Entry candidates or the Federal Economic Priorities category.
The In-Canada Focus target of 82,980 permanent resident admissions will primarily affect temporary residents already in Canada, accounting for approximately 40% of the country’s economic immigration admissions in 2025. Many of these candidates are expected to come from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
The Federal Economic Priorities target of 41,700 permanent resident admissions will focus on candidates from all Express Entry programs, particularly those IRCC identifies as best suited to fill urgent gaps in healthcare, trade occupations, or to meet demographic targets for French-language proficiency among newcomers outside of Quebec.
