Eligibility Requirements
Work Experience Requirements
Within the last three years, you must have worked in Canada for at least a year in a skilled capacity, either full-time or part-time. To be eligible, your profession must be in one of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) TEER groups 0, 1, 2, or 3. Your versatility and value to Canada's workforce are demonstrated by this experience, which makes you a strong contender for permanent residence.
Language Proficiency Requirements
Another crucial requirement for the Canadian Experience Class is language competency. The Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels, which differ based on your NOC employment classification, must be met by applicants. CLB level 7 is necessary for TEER 0 or 1 employment, whereas CLB level 5 is adequate for TEER 2 or 3 occupations. To verify your communication abilities, you must submit the results of approved language exams, such as the IELTS or CELPIP for English or the TEF Canada for French.
Legal Authorization to Work in Canada
You must have acquired your specialized job experience while you were lawfully permitted to work in Canada. This entails maintaining a current work permit for the duration of the job. Eligibility for the Canadian Experience Class is not affected by unapproved employment or work experience obtained without the required paperwork.
Educational Credentials and Their Role
Having a Canadian post-secondary degree or an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for international qualifications will greatly increase your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, even though there is no obligatory educational need for the Canadian Experience Class.
