The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) remains one of the most popular pathways for skilled workers already living and working in Canada to transition to permanent residency (PR). In the latest Express Entry draw 2025, the IRCC invited a significant number of CEC candidates to apply for PR, demonstrating the government’s continued focus on retaining talent within the country.

If you are a temporary worker or international graduate, this draw highlights the opportunities available for those with Canadian work experience. At Visa Master Canada, we specialize in helping CEC candidates strengthen their applications and secure invitations to apply.
