The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) allows temporary foreign workers with at least one year of full-time skilled work experience* (or an equal amount in part-time) in Canada, to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The experience should be gained in the three years before you apply.
All CEC applicants must meet the program’s language proficiency requirements to qualify.

| Speaking | Listening | Reading | Writing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
For applicants with Canadian work experience of NOC skill type B, you must meet the minimum level of CLB5 in either English or French for all four language abilities. The minimum International English Language Testing System(IELTS) score requirements are:
| Speaking | Listening | Reading | Writing |
