The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is a category of the Canadian immigration system that facilitates the transition of skilled temporary foreign workers and international graduates who have gained valuable work experience in Canada to become permanent residents. It is one of the three economic immigration programs managed through the Express Entry system.
The CEC is designed for individuals who have already adapted to the Canadian work environment and have acquired the necessary language skills, work experience, and education to contribute to the Canadian economy. It recognizes the value of individuals who have already established themselves in the Canadian labor market and wish to continue living and working in the country on a permanent basis.
To be eligible for the CEC, applicants must meet certain criteria. They must have at least one year of skilled, professional, or technical work experience in Canada within the past three years. This work experience must have been obtained legally while holding valid temporary status in Canada, such as a work permit.
Language proficiency is also an important requirement for the CEC. Applicants must demonstrate their language skills in either English or French by taking an approved language test. This is to ensure that individuals have the necessary language abilities to integrate into the Canadian society and workforce.
Additionally, CEC applicants must meet the minimum requirements for education. This can be demonstrated by obtaining a Canadian post-secondary degree, diploma, or certificate, or by obtaining an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for foreign educational credentials.
