Why does the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) matter?

The Canadian Experience Class is, in fact, recognized as one of the most liked modes of immigration for people who have been working in Canada. The CEC program was designed for those people who have previously worked in Canada and who wish to reside here permanently. Now more than ever, different industries are struggling to find competent workforce, yet the Canadian government has not failed to appreciate the effort that the candidates in the program have deposited in the economy.

For candidates with Canadian work experience, securing an ITA through the CEC provides multiple advantages:

  • Faster Processing Times: Unlike the other categories of the Express Entry system, the CEC applications are considered and evaluated quicker and makes the candidates move from being a temporary to a permanent resident faster.
  • No Job Offer Required: One major advantage that CEC has over some other immigration streams is the fact that applicants do not have to have an employer’s invitation and hence this makes it easier for many skilled workers to qualify for the immigration program.
  • Pathway to Citizenship: Immigration to Canada results in the acquisition of a permanent resident status which leads to several privileges and opportunities to receive.
