The Canadian Experience Class is designed for skilled workers who have worked in Canada and want to become permanent residents. This is one of the 3 federal programs managed through Express Entry.
The Canadian Experience Class program was created to assist short-term foreign employees & graduates in their acquisition of permanent residency in Canada for candidates with at minimum of a year of Canadian job experience. Candidates with Canadian experience also can qualify for extra Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points through Express Entry, in addition to this incentive. This raises their likelihood of being granted permanent residence.
Since then, the Canadian Experience Class has expanded into one of Canada’s most significant immigration routes for talented workers, and it is widely recognized as a great success by Canadian governments, communities, employers, and immigration applicants themselves.
According to the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), skilled work experience means work experienced gained in TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 job categories. Your work experience can be in 1 or more of these categories.
You must show that you performed the duties set out in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC.
Canadian Experience Class comes under the Express Entry program which uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank interested candidates.
The Comprehensive Ranking System is used to rank immigration candidates in the Express Entry pool against one another. The top candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada.
