Navigate Your Path to Permanent Residency with the Canadian Experience Class
Overview of the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
EVORA Immigration Canada expertly guides individuals who have worked in Canada and are now looking to settle permanently with their families. The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) offers a pathway to permanent residence for those who have significant work experience in Canada in skilled occupations.
Key Eligibility Criteria for the Canadian Experience Class
Required Canadian Work Experience
Candidates must have accumulated at least 12 months of full-time (or equivalent part-time) skilled work experience in Canada within the three years before their application. This experience should be in jobs classified under TEER categories 0, 1, 2, or 3 of the National Occupational Classification (NOC). These categories include managerial, professional, technical, and skilled trades positions.
Calculation of Work Experience
- Full-Time Work: Defined as 30 hours per week.
- Part-Time Work: Calculated on a pro-rata basis, e.g., six months of part-time work at 15 hours a week counts as three months of full-time work.
- Multiple Jobs: Concurrent part-time positions can be combined to meet the full-time requirement.
Language Proficiency
Applicants must demonstrate sufficient proficiency in English or French. The required proficiency level depends on the TEER category of the candidateโs Canadian work experience:
- TEER 0 and 1: Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 7
- TEER 2 and 3: CLB level 5
Language test equivalencies for CLB levels in IELTS, CELPIP, TEF Canada, and TCF Canada are as follows:

Admissibility
Candidates must not be inadmissible to Canada on medical, criminal, or security grounds.
Applying for the CEC
Eligible candidates who meet the outlined requirements can apply directly from within Canada while holding valid temporary status. This allows for a smooth transition from temporary to permanent resident status without the need to leave the country.
Important Note
The Canadian Experience Class is not applicable to those looking to settle in the Province of Q๎ฏฌ. However, work experience gained in Q๎ฏฌ can count towards CEC eligibility if the candidate plans to reside in another province.
Benefits of the Canadian Experience Class
The CEC is highly regarded for its streamlined processing and clear criteria, making it a fast and reliable option for gaining permanent residence. This program appreciates the contributions made by individuals who have already integrated into the Canadian workforce and society, acknowledging their role in enriching the Canadian community.
