Why This Canadian Experience Class Draw Matters

By prioritizing CEC candidates, Canada is ensuring smoother integration of workers who are already familiar with its labor market, culture, and communities.
With a CRS cut-off of 534, this draw reflects the competitive nature of Express Entry, while also offering a clear pathway to permanent residency for workers who have invested their skills and time in Canada.
