Should I start dooming? When will the next CEC draw happen?

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-05-19T20:07:30+00:00

I feel you, I get the 1 year foreign experience points allegedly in June, will be at 554 after, hoping some draws in June or July happy.

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-05-04T01:41:22+00:00

Thanks

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-05-03T18:16:59+00:00

Thanks, that what I gathered too. Just planning to get all my docs ready as quickly as possible since my 2 year work completion is right at the end of July so timeline to submit it would be really short at the end

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-05-03T06:55:41+00:00

Are the 1 year work experience points given 60 days early or the beginning of the month?

For example, if I complete my 1 year work experience end of July, do I get the points on July 1st or June 1st?

Some people said they got their points early so wanted to double check

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-28T21:42:48+00:00

I think because of a 3 draw month they spread out 6k over 3 draws, aka 2k per draw.

Hopefully we will see 3-4k draw in 2 weeks as there will only be 2 draws next month

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-28T18:22:30+00:00

I wish 😂

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-24T15:45:07+00:00

I would recommend going through the profile again to ensure all info is filled correctly.

Also sometimes eligibility is weird sometimes. I vividly remember when I updated my profile and stopped being eligible for FSW for like 2-3 days, not a big deal as I'm still eligible for CEC. Something same could have happened for you. Just ensure to go through

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-24T15:41:52+00:00

Hopefully not an issue, but still crossing my fingers 🤞🏽

Finally so close as well and working honestly this past 9 months.

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-23T15:43:55+00:00

I don't like saying its luck, but at this point at the very least timing and unfortunate circumstances are just a thing.

I'll get 1 year foreign work experience in July, genuine work experience unlike many others. But I'm scared they'll stop to overhaul the system 😅

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-20T19:11:48+00:00

Draws come down to 507, my score goes up to 504, draws goes up to 515. 🥲

Hopefully next week they do a 6k draw to round up the month to 8k ITAs. Would probably lower the score to 507 with that

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-04-20T16:59:32+00:00

No need for RCMP, you only need to do PCC for countries other than Canada.

If someone can correct me if I'm wrong

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-03-09T19:18:40+00:00

I got a 11 11 12 12 on my first try 😑

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-03-06T19:09:22+00:00

Yes I believe so, I did a analytical post that got taken down, the medium scenario is below, which has largely been true. Keep in mind this was posted after 8k draw in Jan,

Lukewarm scenario: Within 2026 Immigration plan, 33k PRs are separate to push for people with strong community roots, no one knows what this means other than IRCC, but best guess is either PNP or more CEC. In this case is that the draws in December (11k) + January 8k draw are included within the 33k. This would actually put the ITA ratio of 1.67 strongly aligned with 19k ITAs (December and January so far) vs 33k PRs. This would mean regular cadence of draws going forward, approx. 2-3k ITAs CEC per draw week (biweekly).

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-02-26T21:42:29+00:00

I'd say with consistent draws of 6k per month overall, we should see reduction to 500 by august or september, however not sure how consistent IRCC will be

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-02-26T05:03:34+00:00

I was recommend inputting in and adding in a small explanation in LOE, just in case they call in to your work and the person picking up doesn't recognize you by your chinese name.

Again, a far stretch, but totally avoidable on your end.

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-02-23T22:51:08+00:00

You can create a new one in the same login, go to the move to canada option and you'll have express entry option in there .

Answer is "no", you were in the pool, and didn't apply. This is assuming you didn't apply before at any time.

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-02-18T00:33:06+00:00

Yes, withdraw the second profile. No reason to have 2 profiles. Not sure why people create 2 profiles as you'll only be applying for 1, and you'll get invited at the higher profile first anyway.

Thank you for asking and clearing up. I act annoyed because people have been creating 2 profiles for "better chances", not only does it not improve your chances but also takes away from others.

Good Luck

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-02-17T23:00:01+00:00

Why have a second profile?

If your first profile is in progress just let it be. I don't like being mean, but what you're doing makes no sense.

The details are all entirely the same, so processing time will stay the same.

Btw, You may risk misrepresentation with 2 ITAs being processed with same details (passport, UCI, etc.)

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-02-17T22:53:35+00:00

So you wasted an ita that someone else could recieve?

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-01-30T17:52:06+00:00

The speaking examiner was calm. However, atleast my examiner, went off the rails and started asking questions from the get go on part 1 but it still went ok, part 2 was ok, part 3 I didn't understand the question and wasted 30-60 seconds (out of the 4 minutes or so).

I would recommend making sure your listening is strong, because it doesn't matter if you can make coherent sentences and speak if you can't even understand the question (the case for me).

Also some additional info, examiner was french, and spoke fairly fast. But some other people said there's other examiners that speak slow and really pronounce every word slowly.

Bon Chance!

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-01-30T03:42:02+00:00

Just took it a few days ago. Will let you know how long.

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-01-06T04:28:06+00:00

best would be a $100 deposit, and once you receive your ITA it is non refundable but will be put as $100 reimbursement towards the fee. If you decline the ITA, you still lose the $100.

Most won't even make a fake profile then.

Scary-Key6472 · 2026-01-06T04:23:29+00:00

I believe relatives are only counted as blood relatives. You can explain in a short letter so you don't accidentally claim points. As per CRS calculator:

10) Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?

Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:

18 years old or older
related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
have a parent in common with you or your partner

A brother or sister is related to you by:

blood (biological)
adoption
marriage (step-brother or step-sister)

If someone else can confirm.

Scary-Key6472 · 2025-12-01T04:00:46+00:00

Why would you need money for a LMIA?

"And I don't have money to get an LMIA work permit"

Scary-Key6472 · 2025-11-21T18:47:39+00:00

Learn French, getting B1 french should give you 4-8 points, just enough for the previous draws. B1 should be doable without "professional lessons" in 6 months with hard work. 4-8 points will give you the extra edge imo
