Express Entry
Canada also announced the resumption of its Express Entry draws for Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) and Federal Skilled Trades (FST) candidates in early July, to help fill over a million job vacancies in the country.

The vast majority of new Express Entry applications will be processed within the six-month service standard. According to IRCC, current Express Entry processing times range from seven months to in excess of 20 months.

Express Entry is Canada’s flagship point-based program for permanent immigration.

Candidates submit applications that enter a pool and are ranked, draws are held and candidates with the highest points are invited to apply for permanent residence.

For PR Applicants
For those who apply for an open work permit while they wait for their PR application to be processed, permits valid until the end of 2024 will be issued. This will ensure all permanent residence applications be finalized before applicants need to apply to extend their temporary status again.

Applicants will now no longer be required to remain in Canada while their application is being processed.
