Understanding the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Stream

CEC draws cater to skilled workers who have at least one year of full-time Canadian work experience within the past three years. This stream is part of the Express Entry Program and uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to score applicants based on key factors such as age, education, work experience, and language ability.

The CEC stream offers unique advantages:

• Lower CRS Cut-Offs: Since applicants have Canadian work experience, CEC draws often have lower CRS requirements than other streams, creating an accessible path for those already integrated into Canadian work and life.
• Shorter Processing Times: Currently, 80% of Express Entry applications are processed within 6 to 8 months, ensuring quicker transitions to PR for skilled workers.

CEC draws occur every few weeks, and with Canada’s labor demand on the rise, we’re seeing more opportunities for skilled workers who have honed their experience in Canada.
