This draw marks the third of the month, following two others where 911 Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates and 1,000 French-language proficiency candidates were invited. It is also the largest CEC-specific draw since July 31, when 5,000 ITAs were issued.
The CRS cutoff of 509 is a slight increase from the previous CEC draw on August 27, where the minimum required score was 507.
