Canadian Experience Class

The Canadian Experience Class is a relatively new and exciting way to achieve immigration to Canada. The program represents a great opportunity to achieve permanent residence in Canada for those who have undertaken relevant employment or study in Canada. Certain people who are in Canada on a temporary work permit and certain people in Canada who have graduated from a post-secondary facility in Canada may qualify for immigration under the Canadian Experience Class.

General Requirements:

- applicants may fall under one of two sub-classes: Temporary Foreign Worker Stream or Post-Graduation Stream
- the applicant must have, in a specific classification of job in Canada, two years of full-time equivalent skilled-work experience within the three years preceding the date the application is made or
- the applicant must have completed a required program of study in Canada and obtained a Canadian educational credential, having been enrolled full-time in this program of study or training for two years and acquired one year of full-time equivalent skilled-work experience in Canada at a specific classification,
- for either sub-class, proficiency in French or English.

The actual requirements under these programs are complicated. Great care and diligence must be applied in launching an application to enter Canada under the Canadian Experience class.
