Overview
Who CEC Is For
The Canadian Experience Class is designed for temporary residents who already have skilled work experience in Canada — typically PGWP holders, LMIA work permit holders, and bridging open work permit (BOWP) holders.
Because IRCC can verify your work history through Canadian tax records and employer pay stubs, CEC applications carry the lowest refusal risk of all federal economic programs when prepared correctly.
Eligibility
- 12+ months of Canadian skilled work in the last 3 years (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3)
- Language: CLB 7 for TEER 0/1 occupations, CLB 5 for TEER 2/3
- Work performed legally on a valid work permit (not as a full-time student)
- No requirement to show settlement funds
Documents
- T4 slips and Notices of Assessment for every Canadian work year
- Pay stubs and detailed employer reference letters with NOC duties
- Copies of all Canadian work permits and study permits
- Language test, passports, police certificates, medicals
