What This Draw Means

This latest draw highlights Canada’s focus on attracting skilled workers who already have Canadian work experience. By inviting CEC candidates, the government continues to strengthen its labour market and retain talent already contributing to the economy.

  • Program Targeted: Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • ITAs Issued: 1,000
  • CRS Cut-off Score: 534
  • Date: September 3, 2025

About the Canadian Experience Class

The CEC program is one of the most popular pathways under the Express Entry system. It is designed for skilled workers who:

  • Have gained at least one year of work experience in Canada.
  • Meet the language requirements in English or French.
  • Plan to settle permanently in Canada.

This pathway is ideal for international students and temporary foreign workers who have already adapted to life in Canada.

What to Expect Next

With this draw, IRCC has once again shown its commitment to selecting experienced candidates from within Canada. Future Express Entry draws are expected to continue focusing on a mix of CEC, Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), and category-based draws.

Candidates are encouraged to:
  • Keep their Express Entry profiles updated.
  • Improve CRS scores by gaining additional work experience, language points, or a provincial nomination.
