Express Entry Program

Canadian Experience Class
(CEC)

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is a program designed for people who have worked or studied in Canada and want to become permanent residents. It's a pathway for individuals with Canadian work experience to transition from temporary to permanent residence status.

Understanding the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

To qualify for the CEC, you typically need at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada. This experience must be gained within the last three years before you apply. You also need to meet language proficiency requirements in English or French.

The CEC is beneficial because it recognizes the value of the experience gained in Canada. It acknowledges that people who have already worked or studied in Canada are likely to adapt well to life here as permanent residents.

Once you meet the eligibility criteria and apply for the CEC, your application will be assessed based on various factors such as your work experience, language skills, and education. If your application is successful, you'll receive permanent resident status in Canada, allowing you to live and work anywhere in the country indefinitely.
