| Canadian Experience Class The Canadian Experience Class is for foreign workers and international graduates who are in Canada on a temporary basis and wish to become Permanent Residents. Temporary foreign workers and international students are ideal candidates for Canadian Permanent Residency. Having obtained a Canadian education and/or Canadian work experience, these individuals have already settled into Canadian society and have established important networks in their communities and their careers. The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) caters specifically to these Canadian immigration applicants. There are separate requirements for the two types of applicants: International Graduates with Canadian Work Experience Applicants must meet the following minimum requirements. They must have: * Temporary resident status in Canada at the time of their application; * Successfully completed a program of study of at least two academic years at a Canadian post-secondary educational institution; * Obtained at least one year of skilled, professional or technical work experience within 24 months of the application date; and * Moderate or basic language skills, depending on the skill level of their occupation.

They must have: * Temporary resident status in Canada at the time of their application; * Obtained at least two years of skilled, professional or technical work experience within 36 months of the application date; and * Moderate or basic language skills, depending on the skill level of their occupation. The Canadian Experience Class requirements are based on a pass or fail model. If the minimum requirements are met, the applicant would be eligible. |
