Breaking News: 18th Express Entry CEC draw of 2026 issues 2500 ITAs. This is higher than the last three months’ EE CEC draws. Besides, the complete details of the Oct 15, 2026, EE CEC draw are:

  • Firstly, 2,500 have an ITA to apply for a Canada PR visa.
  • Secondly, the CRS cut-off that an applicant needs to match or exceed to get an ITA is 519.
  • Also, the applicable tie-breaking rule is September 21, 2026, at 19:00:47 UTC.

In addition, the current draw’s performance is far better than the 3 Express Entry CEC draws in Sep 2026. The table below highlights the same:

Date Round type ITAs Issued CRS Cut-Off
Oct 15 2026 CEC 2,500 519
Sep 29 2026 CEC 2,000 518
Sep 15 2026 CEC 2,000 519
Sep 1 2026 CEC 2,000 521

 

Looking at the above table, we can clearly vouch for the Oct 15, 2026, EE CEC draw’s performance.

  • Firstly, the current draw towers over all three Sep 2026 draws by an extra 500 PR invitations.
  • Secondly, the CRS cut-off is just 1 point higher than the earlier Sep 29, 2026, draw.

Who qualifies in the Oct 15, 2026, Express Entry CEC draw?

18th Express Entry CEC draw of 2026 issues 2500 ITAs. But do you have an ITA? If you do, then it is possible because:

  • Firstly, you apply to the Express Entry (EE) System.
  • Secondly, you applied to the following sub-stream:
  • Also, meet Human Capital Factors:
    • Age
    • Education
    • Work Experience
    • Language Skills
  • Besides, you need a minimum of 1 year of Canadian work experience.
  • Moreover, this work experience must be in a job profile that falls under NOC 0, 1, 2, or 3.
  • Finally, your CRS score matches or exceeds the CRS cut-off of 519.

After getting an ITA, you will have 60 days to submit a complete and error-free PR application with all supporting documents. IRCC will then check your application; if satisfactory, you will get a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).
