The date and time for tie-break were October 10, 2019, at 19:15:28 UTC. All Canadian experience class candidates with a CRS score of 452 and higher who submitted their express entry profiles before the tie-break date and time were invited by the IRCC to apply for permanent residence.

Canadian work experience paves a way to permanent residence

Canadian Experience Class is one of the three immigration programs listed in the federal express entry system through which candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Canada recognizes the efforts of talented foreign workers who work in the country and contribute to economic development. Therefore, the government has a separate immigration program for people who are already working in Canada to let them become Canadian permanent residents.  Also Read: How to get Canada PR visa?
