FSWP and CEC draws to continue in July

An important announcement was made on April 22 that the Express Entry invitations for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) immigration candidates will continue by early July. Meanwhile, the minister stated that he expects more new Express Entry applications to be processed within a six-month standard of service.

This has been significant news since the Express Entry draws for FSWP applicants were paused in December 2020 and the CEC applicants since September 2021.

The temporary interruption was introduced and implemented the IRCC to process highly skilled applications on the waiting list and reduce the Express Entry backlog, which was aggravated by the pandemic.
