The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is an immigration program designed for individuals who have acquired work experience in Canada and wish to obtain permanent residency. The program is one of the three programs managed through the Express Entry system, which is a fast-track process for skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada.

To be eligible for the CEC, an individual must meet the following requirements:

1. 1. Have at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada within the last three years before applying;
   1. Have gained the work experience through legal means, such as holding a valid work permit;
   1. Meet the minimum language requirements in English or French;
   1. Plan to live outside the province of Quebec; and
   1. Be admissible to Canada.

If an individual meets these requirements, they may submit an Express Entry profile indicating their interest in the CEC program. Candidates are then ranked based on various factors, such as their age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and adaptability. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency through regular draws conducted by the Canadian government.

Overall, the Canadian Experience Class is an excellent opportunity for individuals who have gained work experience in Canada to become permanent residents and potentially Canadian citizens.
