Canadian Experience Class Draws

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draws are an integral part of Canada immigration Program, aimed at individuals with skilled work experience in Canada. Managed under the Express Entry Program, the CEC stream provides a pathway to Canada permanent residency for eligible candidates.

In these draws, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) selects candidates from the Express Entry pool based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores. Factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency determine by the CRS points calculator. Unlike other streams, CEC candidates do not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a job offer to qualify.

Applicants must have at least one year of skilled, professional, or technical work experience in Canada within the last three years under a valid work permit. The applicant must be able to demonstrate proficiency in English or French language (minimum CLB of 5 or 7, depending on the job type).

Another advantage of the CEC program is the exemption from providing proof of settlement funds, a requirement for other streams. Additionally, Canadian Experience Class draw often feature lower CRS cut-off scores, making it easier for skilled workers in Canada to receive an invitation to apply for PR.
