Express Entry Draw 297

On May 31, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held Express Entry Draw #297, inviting 3,000 candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The minimum CRS score for this draw was 522, highlighting strong competition among applicants with Canadian work experience.

CEC draws remain a crucial pathway for temporary residents, such as international graduates and skilled workers, who have already gained professional experience in Canada. A cut-off of 522 shows that profiles with solid language scores, skilled Canadian employment, and post-secondary education continue to perform well in this program.

For many candidates already contributing to the Canadian labour market, the CEC provides one of the most efficient routes to permanent residency due to its streamlined requirements and focus on Canadian experience.

A&M Canadian Immigration Law Corporation supports applicants in assessing their CEC eligibility, strengthening their CRS profiles, and preparing complete and accurate Express Entry applications.
