Throughout the pandemic, Canada has continued to target candidates already in the country due to the travel restrictions currently in place. As a result, the CRS cut-off for Canadian Experience Class candidates has continued to reduce. This has allowed candidates that may have not otherwise received an invitation in the federal draw the opportunity to apply for permanent residence.
