Canadian Experience Class

Temporary foreign workers and/or foreign students who graduated in Canada can often make a successful transition to permanent residence; their familiarity with Canadian society and the ability to contribute to the Canadian economy makes this easier. Knowledge of English or French and qualifying work experience is a requirement.

To meet the minimum requirements to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class, applicants must:

  • plan to live outside the province of Quebec;
  • have one year of full time (or part-time equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you are invited to apply;
  • have gained your experience in Canada with the proper work authorization; and
  • meet the minimum language requirement.

According to the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), skilled work experience means:

  • TEER 0 (managerial occupations), or
  • TEER 1 (professional occupations), or
  • TEER 2, 3 (technical occupations and skilled trades)

Your work experience can be in 1 or more of these categories.

Your application will be assessed on two requirements if you apply as a temporary foreign worker:

  • your work experience; and
  • your ability in English or French.

Canadian Experience Class applications are managed under the Express Entry System. Applicants expressing an interest to immigrate to Canada must complete an online Express Entry profile. Potential applicants who are deemed to have met the eligibility criteria are then entered into a pool with other eligible candidates. If chosen by IRCC, the candidate will receive an Invitation to Apply and will have to submit a full application within 60 days.

I highly recommend Bellisimo Law group PCBellissimo Law Firm has been an incredible support for our family during one of the most challenging times. My mother faced an unexpected medical situation with no prior history just before her PR medical was requested, leaving us overwhelmed and unsure of our next steps. From the moment we met with Mario, Keely, and the team, we felt assured and in expert hands. They guided us through every step with professionalism, patience, and genuine care, especially in addressing the complex medical inadmissibility concerns. Keely’s clear guidance on the mitigation plan and the entire team's dedication made all the difference. Thanks to them, we’ve received our Passport Submission Request for PR. If you're facing an immigration challenge, particularly with medical issues, Bellissimo Law Firm is simply the best. Our deepest gratitude to the whole team for their hard work, compassion, and commitment. Thank you from our entire family!" Thanks to Mario and Keely once again for doing great work and always connecting with me with positive energy during this Journey !

Truly worth everything with these guys.I came in with a very complicated case and was so daunted by the whole process. Upon acquiring their services I was immediately calmed. They’re very thorough with their work and let you know exactly what they need to do. I had the pleasure of dealing with Viola Gniadek on my case a lot, and she was nothing short of superb. She handled any question or query we had quickly and promptly. All while doing so with such an amazing attitude. Not to mention she was dealing with it all with opposite sides of the world time zones!Would 110 percent recommend Bellissimo Law group for any immigration help! I tip my hat!
