This means all CEC candidates with a CRS score of and above 447, who entered their profile in the Express Entry pool before this date and time, received an ITA for Canadian permanent residence in this invitation round.
The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is one of three Federal High Skilled immigration programs managed by the Express Entry system. This immigration class is open to foreign nationals with a minimum one year of work experience in Canada, among other criteria.
It’s been a while now that IRCC is targeting only CEC and Provincial Nominee candidates due to the fact that they are most likely to be already in Canada because of the current travel restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Considering Canada’s higher admission targets under its 2020-2022 Immigration Levels Plan, it can be assumed that IRCC will hold more frequent and larger draws in the coming weeks and months.
