Express Entry Draw #390 – January 7, 2026
On January 7, 2026, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its 1st Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draw of 2026. In today’s draw, 8,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) were issued to candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 511 or higher. IRCC has now invited 8,574 Express Entry candidates in 2026.
The CEC is among the three programs managed under Canada’s Express Entry system. The program is designed for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and want to become permanent residents.
IRCC applied its tie-breaking rule with the timestamp of June 10, 2025 at 15:59:25 UTC, meaning candidates with a score of 511 were invited to apply if they had submitted their Express Entry profile before the timestamp.
