This marks the second consecutive week of Express Entry draws.

The previous week, a total of 1,933 ITAs were issued to candidates in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program, PNP candidates, and those with French-language proficiency.

According to IRCC’s latest Immigration Levels Plan, federal immigration targets through the Express Entry system are set to increase next year, with plans to welcome 124,680 Express Entry candidates to Canada.

Additionally, more than 82,000 of these admissions will be allocated to a new In-Canada Focus category, primarily for CEC candidates in the Express Entry pool, but it may also include candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and PNP-aligned Express Entry streams.

The remaining 41,700 permanent residence (PR) admissions will be designated for the “Federal Economic Priorities” category, aimed at inviting candidates with professional experience in high-demand occupations within the Canadian labour market.
