What Is the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)?
The Canadian Experience Class is for skilled workers who have Canadian Work Experience and want to become permanent residents.
Minimum requirements

– Canadian Language Benchmark 7 for NOC 0 or A jobs or

full time (1,560 hours)
You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement.
– full-time work at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job =
