Why the CEC Draw Matters
The Canadian Experience Class remains one of the most popular immigration streams under the Express Entry system. It targets skilled individuals who have already gained work experience in Canada, making them well-positioned to integrate successfully into the labour market and society.
CEC candidates often include international graduates and temporary foreign workers who have contributed to Canada’s economy and are now ready to transition to permanent residence.
This latest draw reflects IRCC’s ongoing focus on retaining skilled talent already in Canada, ensuring that their valuable experience supports economic growth and helps address ongoing labour shortages.
