Express Entry Draw 364: Another 1,000 Invitations Sent to Canadian Experience Class Candidates
Today’s Canadian Experience Class draw invited 1,000 candidates, with a CRS cut-off of 534 — the same as the last CEC round in August 2025.
In our last analysis, I predicted that the small CEC draw in August would mean that we would likely see the pool size in the range 501-600 points swell to greater than 25,000 by today. It appears that prediction came true, with the data from September 1 showing that there were 25,123 candidates in the Express Entry pool at that range.
Since then, we received a request on social media to cover the theorized surge in fake profiles in the Express Entry pool at the 501+ range. While we appreciate that this is a pervasive rumour, we don’t currently believe that this is the case. It’s possible that there are some fake profiles in the system, but it’s also quite likely that there really are 25,000 candidates with very strong profiles hoping to immigrate to Canada.
Dig into the full blog post to learn more about why we believe that competition truly is at an all time high in Canadian Experience Class rounds.
