Express Entry Draw #381 | 1,000 CEC Candidates Invited
On November 26, 2025, the latest Express Entry draw 381 issued 1,000 ITAs for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 531.
This round marks the sixth consecutive CEC draw of the 2025 season in which 1,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) have been issued to CEC candidates.
Full Results of the November 26 CEC Draw
- Program: Canadian Experience Class
- Invitations: 1,000
- CRS cutoff: 531
- Rank needed: 1,000 or above
- Tie-breaking rule: October 8, 2025 at 19:02:26 UTC
Although the decrease from earlier CEC rounds is small, it suggests that more profiles in the 531-535 range have already been absorbed, creating the potential for further softening in the coming weeks.
Why CEC Candidates Continue to Lead
The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is tailored for skilled workers with prior Canadian work experience. These candidates typically:
-
Settle faster in Canada
-
Earn higher wages sooner
-
Achieve stronger long-term career outcomes
Because of these advantages, IRCC often prioritizes CEC applicants as part of its overall Express Entry strategy.
