Also, the numbers of candidates have an additional 250 more to the previous draw where only 1500 was marked, this time it is 1750 which is notable.
The Second All-Program Draw
Since 2020, IRCC prioritized and held draws and picked in immigrants only through the Canadian Experience Class - CEC and Provincial Nominee Program –PNP, but after 18 months all program draw has been resumed this July. The all- program draw now considers all the candidates without program specification and eligibility; this was the actual running scenario before the huge pandemic breaks down where the candidates in the express entry pool were invited with ITA (Invitations to apply) if they met the minimum CRS. IRCC held draws every two weeks from January 2021 to September 2021, after this period it gave a pause for CEC candidates as the processing times crossed the usual standard of six months. Overall, IRCC is now back to normal to conduct draws for all the programs, In addition, there are upcoming changes to the Express Entry system too. The refined measures as mentioned in Bill C-19 are expected to fall into practice in early 2023. If these changes are headed up, IRCC will be able to focus more on its targeted immigration levels based on hitting the economic aims where the occupation, educational credential, language ability, and other such related factors would be considered to invite Candidates meeting their actual labor market needs.
