After a long hiatus, the Canadian government has finally announced that the IRCC will resume Express Entry draws for Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programs by early July.
Canada had paused Express Entry Federal Skilled Worker draws in response to the pandemic from December 2020. However, the government continued the pause due to the colossal immigration application backlog.
As of September 2021, IRCC has paused all Federal High Skilled Worker draws, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class.
Measures Announced by the IRCC- April 22, 2022
On April 22, 2022, Canada s immigration minister, Fraser, announced a series of measures centred around Canada s economic need for immigration to recover from the pandemic. The Canadian government is implementing several steps to help attract skilled foreign workers.
