Individuals who have gained skilled work experience in Canada, such as temporary foreign workers and foreign students who graduated with a Canadian educational credential, often have the qualities to make a successful transition from temporary to permanent resident status as they are familiar with Canadian society, and have demonstrated the ability to contribute to the Canadian economy.

If you are proficient in English or French and have qualifying Canadian work experience, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class by using this application package.

Applications for Permanent Residence under the Canadian Experience Class can be submitted by individuals who have at least 12 months of qualifying Canadian work experience in a managerial, professional, skilled trade or technical occupation, and who meet the language proficiency requirements for their occupational skill level.

  • The work experience must have obtained within the 36 months preceding the date their application is received,
  • the required level of English or French language proficiency (speaking, reading, listening and writing) for their occupational skill level.

The postsecondary students and temporary works having the required work experience as above will be eligible to apply under this class. This class is of interest to any international student who has come to Canada to study for a period of two years and work in Canada for at least one year after graduation.
