All-Program Express Entry Draw
IRCC or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada had stopped conducting draws for CEC or Canadian Experience Class and all-program applicants. There was a massive backlog of applications for these applicants.
The Canadian authorities were processing applications of highly skilled professionals all this while. The figures have significantly reduced, and therefore the all-program draws have been resumed. The new applications after the latest invitations will be processed in under six months. The applicants have a 60-day period to submit their applications.
