What Is the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)?
The Canadian Experience Class is for skilled workers who have Canadian Work Experience and want to become permanent residents.
Minimum requirements
You must
meet the required language levels needed for your job for each language ability:
- Canadian Language Benchmark 7 for NOC 0 or A jobs or
- Canadian Language Benchmark 5 for NOC B jobs

- equal amount in part-time work: for instance, 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1-year
full time (1,560 hours)
You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement.
- full-time work at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job =
1-year full time (1,560 hours)
have gained your work experience by working in Canada while under temporary resident status with authorization to work
There is no education requirement for the Canadian Experience Class.
