The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is one of the three economic immigration programs managed under the Express Entry program. CEC is designed to help skilled workers who have already gained work experience in Canada to apply for Canada PR. The CEC is an attractive option for many because it values Canadian work experience and allows applicants to transition smoothly from temporary to permanent status.

To be eligible, you must have at least 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada within 36 months of the application date and meet the minimum Canadian Level Benchmark (CLB) of CLB 7 (for TEER 0 or TEER 1 jobs) or CLB 5 (for TEER 2 or TEER 3 jobs).
