Canada Experience Class

The Canadian Experience Class program is for candidates who have recent Canadian work experience and want to attain a permanent Residency in Canada. Candidates applying under this program usually get their visa processed within three to four months, making this program one of the fasted routes to Canadian permanent residence.

Managed under the Express Entry system, the Canadian Experience Class ranks candidates using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Those who meet the cut-off scores receive invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

Who Is Eligible For The Canadian Experience Class Program?

To be eligible for the Canadian Experience Class, a candidate must fulfil the eligibility requirements as listed below:

  • The applicant should have at least 12-months of full-time (or an equivalent amount of part-time) skilled work experience in Canada, acquired within the previous three years, from the date of applying.
  • The candidate’s employment duties in Canada should fall under the NOC Code Skill Level 0, A, or B.
  • The work experience should be paid and lawfully obtained
  • A CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) level 7 in English/ French for NOC skill level 0/A jobs or CLB 5 for NOC B jobs.
  • The applicant should intend to stay outside of the province of Quebec.


Provided a candidate meets these requirements, they will be eligible to submit an Express Entry profile for the Canadian Experience Class program. However, candidates should note that they must meet Canada’s basic admissibility requirements. Certain criminal offenses and medical conditions may make a person inadmissible to Canada.

Can I apply to the Canadian Experience Class program from outside of Canada?

Yes. As long as you meet the basic eligibility requirements for CEC as mentioned above, you can apply from anywhere in the world.  

Is proof of funds required for Canadian Experience Class?

Proof of funds is not a requirement of the CEC program. You will not be required to provide any documentation regarding your finances.
