On September 15, 2026, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada held Express Entry draw #443 for Canadian Experience Class candidates.

IRCC issued 2,000 invitations to apply, with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System score of 519. The tie-breaking rule was March 26, 2026 at 00:16:39 UTC. This was the second CEC draw in September: on September 1, IRCC also invited 2,000 candidates, but the CRS cut-off was 521.

The latest round therefore kept the number of invitations unchanged while lowering the minimum score by two points.

It was the 16th CEC draw of 2026, bringing the number of invitations issued through CEC-specific rounds this year to 53,250. Overall, IRCC has now issued 128,732 invitations across 55 Express Entry draws in 2026.
