📢 Express Entry Draw Held on Aug 7

 

Following the first Express Entry (EE) draw for PNP candidates on August 6, a draw targeting CEC (Canadian Experience Class) candidates was held on August 7.

 

📌 Key Details of the Latest Draw:

August 7 – CEC Category
• ✅ Cut-off score: 534
• ✅ Number of ITAs issued: 1,000

 

This draw issued the second-lowest number of ITAs for the CEC category this year. The lowest was on May 13, when only 500 ITAs were issued (Cut-off: 547). After that, 3,000 ITAs were consistently issued in subsequent CEC draws, which had led to a decrease in the cut-off scores. However, this time, with only 1,000 ITAs issued, the score jumped back up significantly.

 

Typically, “analysis” should involve reviewing past and current data to tell future trends. Unfortunately, with IRCC’s current draw patterns, making any kind of forecast has become nearly impossible. There seems to be no clear criteria or rationale guiding the selections, which is disappointing.

 

Although we continue to share EE draw results, we’re often left simply reporting past data without being able to offer meaningful insight into what’s next.

 

So far in 2025, there have been 8 CEC draws, with a total of 19,850 ITAs issued. The lowest cut-off score was 518 (on July 8), and the highest was 547 (on May 13).

 

Looking at CEC draws by month, June had the highest number of ITAs issued at 6,000, while May had the lowest at 500. As we’ve previously noted, IRCC tends to ramp up EE selections in the latter half of the year, particularly in July and August. Given this trend, the low number of CEC invitations in this draw could indicate a strategic shift toward category-based selections.

 

However, it’s also worth noting that the monthly average for CEC-specific invitations has been around 2,500 ITAs, so that pattern may still hold some weight. It’s frustrating not to be able to make accurate forecasts and to only speculate across a range of possibilities.

 

During uncertain and challenging times like this, choosing the right immigration firm and working with them to build a strategic immigration plan is a wise investment. We encourage you to choose a firm that is not only detail-oriented and analytical but also sincerely committed to your success.
