I think CEC draws may run out of candidates in a few more CEC only draws. My logic is

  • Most CEC candidates are likely to have more than 433 on CRS score. Most international students in Canada are masters students and are in their 20s and likely to have IELTS score of more than 6. They should have a minimum of 1 year Canadian work experience to be eligible as CEC candidates. Even If they don’t have any foreign experience they will be at 433.
  • CEC candidates make up only a small percentage of express entry pool, approx 15%(https://wenr.wes.org/2019/01/canadas-express-entry-immigration-system-changes-in-applicant-pool-and-behavior-after-its-implementation). Another proof for this is that there were more FSW candidates left behind in the score range that CEC candidates were picked up in the recent CEC only draws.
  • Cut of crs score decreased 27 points from 467 to 440 in six draws. So, if they continue CEC draws, the score will drop to 433 in one or two more draws and after that there might be very few CEC candidates.

So, below 433, IRCC will either switch to general draws or stop the draws all together till the pandemic subsides in all the countries.

What do you all think?

Question:

I created my profile on March 2020. With 442 CEC.
at the end of April, I updated my profile for my canadian work experience.
But no changes in my 442 CEC. Today, I was supposed to receive an ITA, BUT when I logged in I noticed that I didnt submit my profile when I updated.
It was ''Updated but not submit"

My question is: Was my profile in the pool for this draw without this update? Or when you update and not submit your profile does not count for the recent draw? Im afraid I missed this draw :(

If your score was 442 before you made the changes then you should receive ITA. Sometimes it can take upto 24 hrs.

But, if your score was lower than 440 before you made the change and did not submit the profile then unfortunately you missed the draw.

Most international students in Canada are not Master's students.

I second this. I know so many students who come here for a college diploma (2 years) after finishing 12th grade in their home country. Since their overall education level is lower than a bachelor's degree, they do not achieve a competitive CRS score. For those candidates, this is a blessing in disguise.
