What Is Canadian Experience Class and How Can I Apply?
The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program is an immigration stream under the Express Entry system in Canada, specifically designed for certain temporary foreign workers and foreign student graduates who have already gained skilled work experience in Canada. This program aims to help these individuals transition from temporary to permanent residence status.
CEC is managed under the Express Entry system and uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank interested candidates. Applicants who have competitive CRS scores will receive invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
