The Canadian Experience Class is designed for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and wish to become permanent residents.

To be eligible, you must fulfill all the minimum requirements for Canadian skilled work experience and language proficiency.

Eligibility for the Canadian Experience Class requires one to have at least one year of paid skilled work experience in Canada (or an equivalent amount of part-time work experience) within the three years preceding your application. Additionally, you must have gained this work experience while authorized to work in Canada under temporary resident status.

Your skilled work experience must be compensated, including wages or earned commissions, and not involve volunteer work or unpaid internships.

Furthermore, you are not eligible for the Canadian Experience Class if you have worked without authorization, and your work experience was accumulated while you were not in Canada under temporary resident status.
