Canada Experience Class- PR Route For Students

 


International Students in Canada can qualify for PR under the Canada Experience Class. Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is one of the three economic immigration programs under the popular Express Entry system. The program is for foreign nationals with Canadian work experience.

To qualify for Canada PR, you have to fulfill a number of eligibility requirements ( in language proficiency, work experience, level of education, etc.).

Eligibility

Work Experience

The most important CEC requirement is work experience in Canada. A Candidate’s work experience must be in ‘skill level 0’ or ‘ A or B’ as defined by Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC). Skill level 0 occupations are managerial jobs. The skill type A occupations include professional jobs that require a university degree such as Architects, Doctors, Dentists, etc. Skill type B occupations involve technical jobs and skilled trades that you can start with a college diploma or after completing an apprenticeship. Examples of such jobs are – Chefs, Electricians, Plumbers, etc.

Work Experience Requirements

  • First, Full-time or the equivalent number of hours in part-time work experience
  • Second, Work experience in the three years preceding the submission of the application.
  • Third, the work experience gained in Canada as a temporary resident with an authorization to work.

Language Ability

English and French are the two official languages of Canada. Candidate should have the minimum required level of proficiency in either of these to be eligible for Canada immigration. This is one of the most common and crucial eligibility criteria found across Canada immigration programs. A candidate can prove your language proficiency by taking an approved language test. For English, the approved tests are: IELTS and CELPIP. The tests approved for French language are: TCF and TEF

CLB is a measure of language proficiency. The test language scores are converted to CLB levels.

The minimum-required level of language proficiency will depend upon your occupation, which is as follows:

  • CLB 7 for NOC 0 or A jobs and
  • CLB 5 for NOC B jobs

In terms of IELTS score, CLB 7 means:

  • Reading 6.0
  • Writing 6.0
  • Speaking 6.0
  • Listening 6.0

While CLB 5 is equal to:

  • Reading 4.0
  • Writing 5.0
  • Speaking 5.0
  • Listening 5.0

Education

Importantly, IRCC has not outlined any minimum-required level of education for CEC. However, an applicant needs the necessary level of education as per occupation.
