Overview of the CEC Express Entry Draw

The CEC Express Entry Draw on June 12, 2025 shows Canada’s focus on candidates with Canadian work experience. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 3,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under the Canadian Experience Class. This pathway helps temporary foreign workers and international graduates who already live in Canada secure permanent residence.

By targeting the CEC pool, Canada speeds up applications for skilled workers who have proven their ability to adapt to the Canadian labor market.

CRS Trends and What They Mean

Tracking CRS distribution helps you predict cut‑off movement. Below is a snapshot of the Express Entry pool just before the June draw.

• Rising Pool Size: A larger pool can push cut‑offs higher.

• Mid‑Range Growth: Gaining points in the 451–600 band improves your odds.

• Strategy Tip: If your CRS is below 529, consider retaking a language test or adding work experience to move into a higher band before the next CEC Express Entry Draw.

Is 490 a Good CRS Score?

A CRS of 490 sits below recent CEC cut‑offs (529 in June 2025). Here’s how to assess:

• Competitive? Yes, it falls within the 451–500 band where many draws occur.

• Boost Strategies:

  1. Retake language tests for higher CLB.

  2. Gain additional Canadian work experience or a valid job offer.

  3. Complete more post‑secondary study for extra points.

Aim to push your CRS above the highest recent cut‑off (547) to maximize your chances in the next CEC Express Entry Draw.
