The Canadian Experience Class is open to Temporary Foreign Workers and/or International Students who graduate in Canada and would like to become Permanent Residents.

These Temporary Foreign Workers and International Students, who already have lived in Canada, are ideal applicants for Canadian Immigration (Permanent Residency). Having obtained a Canadian education and/or Canadian work experience, these individuals have already settled into Canadian society and have established networks in their communities and with their careers.

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) caters specifically to these Canadian immigration applicants. There are separate requirements for the two types of applicants:

• The language abilities required to immigrate under the Canadian Experience Class vary and will be determined by your job classification under the National Occupation Classification system (NOC).

• Have obtained at least two years of skilled, professional or technical work experience in Canada (according to NOC skill levels O,A,B) within 3 years of the application date; AND
