IRCC aims to resume FSWP and CEC invitations this spring

In a recent interview, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser stated that the agency plans to resume Express Entry drawings for skilled workers in the spring.

Minister Fraser spoke with ApplyBoard in a virtual interview about foreign student issues. One of the minister’s responsibilities is to establish avenues for international students and temporary foreign employees to get permanent status.

The minister responded to queries in a chatbox about when Express Entry draws for Federal High Skilled candidates will resume at the completion of the interview. Candidates who are eligible for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program fall into the Federal High Skilled category (FSTP).
