CEC Canadian Experience Class Permanent Residence

Express Entry: Canadian Experience Class

CEC Express Entry does not have educational requirements, but foreign nationals do get extra qualification points if they graduated from a Canadian secondary or post-secondary school. With Canada work experience and an LMIA job offer, you can apply for a work permit. After working in Canada for 12 months in a NOC A, B or 0 skill level job full-time (or equivalent), you can apply for permanent residence through the Express Entry Canadian Experience Class - CEC - category.

Calculate Your Express Entry Permanent Residence Score

Your initial CEC application places you into a pool with other eligible workers. You will be ranked on a point-based system and if you are near the top of the pool, you will get an Invitation to Apply via Express Entry. There are no specific lists of requirements because each applicant is unique., you will get a customized list of documents needed.

After two attempts to manage spousal sponsorship visa on our own, we decided that it was worth the money and ease of mind to hire a professional. I'm so glad we did! With Ackah Law, all of the processes were made clear and every detail correct. Communication was timely and it was rarely a challenge to get a live call or meeting that worked with our busy schedules. It's expensive to retain a lawyer, of course, but for the many ways that the Canadian immigration systems have changed in the past few years, a good law firm is indispensable. My only feedback would be to expand their business to offer a start-to-settlement concierge service because the paperwork doesn't end when you land! :)
