n n

Canada has invited 250 senior managers with Canadian work experience to apply for permanent residence through the Express Entry system.

n

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued the invitations in its latest targeted Express Entry draw on Wednesday, allowing eligible candidates to move forward with their permanent residence applications.

n

Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 389 to receive an invitation.

n

IRCC’s latest selection focused specifically on candidates with Canadian work experience in senior management occupations.

n

Foreign nationals already in Canada who have applied for permanent residence through Express Entry may be eligible for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP).

n

A BOWP can allow eligible applicants to continue working in Canada while they wait for a decision on their permanent residence application.

n

According to the information provided by IRCC, applicants whose current work permits expire while their BOWP applications are being processed may benefit from maintained status.

n

Under maintained status, eligible applicants who remain in Canada can continue working under the conditions of their previous work permit while awaiting a decision.

n

Eligible family members may also be able to apply for work permits, depending on their individual circumstances and the applicable requirements.

n

The latest draw provides another pathway for eligible senior managers with Canadian work experience to pursue permanent residence through Canada’s Express Entry system.
