In comparison with the past, the invited candidates will have to apply in 60 days. PNP draws have got success and regular draws since September 2021. IRCC has not issued a draw for the Canada Experience Class program since then. Whereas the draw for the previously most exercised category “Federal Skilled Worker Program” has not been published since December 2020.
A good development has been observed as the immigration minister Sean Fraser informed business leaders in a webinar that IRCC would resume draws for skilled workers “in the near future.” This would indeed help out many candidates waiting for a long time to apply under FSWP.
