The Canada experience class has become the most valuable stream of the Express Entry programs. This is because the Canadian government has over the past few months decided to help candidates with experience in Canada settle permanently in the country.

The target of reducing the number of temporary residents not only includes allowing fewer people to enter the country in this category but also those already living in the country.
