On August 27, 2024, at 17:44:02 UTC, the latest round of invitations for permanent residence under the Express Entry system, Ministerial Instructions #312, was held.

For the Canadian Experience Class, a total of 3,300 invitations were issued. The rank required to be invited was 3,300 or higher, with the lowest-ranked candidate having a CRS score of 507. The tie-breaking rule was applied based on the date and time of June 05, 2024, at 01:08:58 UTC, meaning that if multiple candidates had the lowest score, the cut-off was determined by the submission time of their Express Entry profiles.

Express Entry is an online system for managing immigration applications for skilled workers through three programs: the Canadian Experience Class, the Federal Skilled Worker Program, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program. Candidates can also gain additional points if nominated through the Provincial Nominee Program. To apply, individuals must first confirm their eligibility, then create a profile to be ranked in the pool using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Those with scores above the minimum threshold receive invitations to apply and must submit their application within 60 days. Complete applications are usually processed in six months or less.
