Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is a program that allows foreign workers and international students who have gained skilled work experience in Canada to apply for permanent residence. It recognizes their familiarity with Canadian work culture and processes, making them eligible to settle permanently in Canada. To qualify, applicants typically need at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada within the past three years, meet language requirements, and plan to reside outside Quebec. The program aims to retain talented, experienced individuals familiar with Canadian society, supporting Canada's economic needs and diversity.
