Canada, IRCC again invited 7000 applications in surprise 8th Express Entry draw In the most recent development, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued another invitation to apply (ITAs) to 7,000 individuals in an unexpected all-program draw, with a minimum CRS score of 484. Instead of waiting a week between Express Entry, IRCC issued 7,000 invites for the second straight draw. Candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class are considered in all-program draws (CEC). Earlier, a few days back, a record number of candidates were invited to the March 15 all-program draw, which comprised 7,000 applications, and those individuals had a minimum CRS score of 490. On January 18, IRCC invited 5,500 applicants. Previously, Canada's Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced a work permit extension of up to 18 months for holders of Post-Graduate Work Permits (PGWP). Post-graduation workers with expired work permits may apply for an extension of their Open Work Permit until April 6, 2023. For those whose PGWP expires in 2023, the extension will be available.
Also eligible are individuals whose PGWPs expired in 2022 and who submitted an application for an Open Work Permit extension with the IRCC last year. Candidates can fill out an application for the extension on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website starting on April 6. After applying for an extension, applicants will receive an interim work permit authorization via email, which they can present to employers to continue working legally in Canada.
