A CEC-Specific Draw refers to an invitation round conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that targets candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) category exclusively.
In these draws, only candidates with work experience in Canada who meet specific criteria, such as a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, are invited to apply for Canada PR.
These draws help IRCC manage applications from skilled workers already living and working in Canada, making the process more effective and efficient.
