Canadian Experience Class
The Canadian Experience Class is designed for skilled Canadian workers seeking permanent residency, requiring minimum qualifications in Canadian skilled job experience and language fluency.
To be qualified for the Canadian Experience Class, you must have completed at least one year of paid skilled work in Canada (or an equivalent amount of part-time work) during the three years before submitting your application. Also, you must have obtained this work experience while working in Canada as a temporary resident.
Volunteering and unpaid internships are not acceptable forms of compensation for your skilled work experience; instead, you must get compensation in the form of a salary or commissions.
Additionally, if you have worked without permission and obtained your work experience while temporarily residing outside of Canada, you are not qualified for the Canadian Experience Class.
Foreigners looking to settle in Canada can apply for any of the three immigration programs managed under the Express Entry process are – Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class.
To become a skilled immigrant in Canada, create a profile and submit it to the Express Entry pool. If eligible, they are placed in a pool, given a score, and invited to apply for permanent residency. However, completing an online profile does not guarantee a permanent residency invitation.
IRCC employs the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank Express Entry candidates, inviting top applicants for permanent residence applications every two weeks.
