The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is one of the three economic immigration programs managed under Canada's Express Entry Program. It is designed to help skilled workers who have already gained work experience in Canada to apply for Canada PR. The CEC is an attractive option for many because it values Canadian work experience and allows applicants to transition smoothly from temporary to permanent status.

Express Entry Draws in July

Express Entry draws are held every two weeks, usually on a Wednesday. However, IRCC has followed an unusual pattern for these invitation rounds throughout 2024. Including the latest draw, the department has so far issued Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to 25,125 candidates across nine Express Entry draws this month.

The Express Entry Program saw multiple rounds of invitations across various categories, showcasing the diversity and flexibility of Canada's immigration programs. These draws highlight Canada's commitment to attracting a wide range of skilled workers to support its economic and social development.
