Top Reasons to Apply Under the CEC Stream
- Faster Processing: CEC applicants typically enjoy quicker processing times, often within six months, making it one of the fastest pathways to permanent residence.
- No Job Offer Required: Unlike PNP applicants, CEC candidates don’t need a job offer, making it more accessible for skilled workers already in Canada.
- Lower CRS Cut-offs: Many recent CEC draws have featured lower CRS cut-offs compared to other categories, especially for applicants with Canadian work experience.
- Work and Study Experience in Canada Counts: CEC rewards candidates who have integrated into the Canadian workforce, offering strong selection points for local experience.
- Post-Graduate Advantage: International graduates with Canadian degrees and PGWP work experience can transition smoothly into PR through the CEC stream.
