Relevant policies of skilled immigrants studying in Canada.

If you have studied in Canada or have technical work experience.

Reader Laixin Xu:

I have accumulated experience in studying in Canada and want to know more about the types of experience of skilled immigrants in Canada.

Guan, President of the Canadian Immigration Bureau: Canada Experienced Skilled Migration (CEC) is a skilled migration program specially launched by Canada to accept more international graduates and international skilled employees. From September 17, 2008, eligible foreign temporary workers and foreign students can obtain permanent residence status in Canada by applying for CEC.

Generally speaking, the success rate of CEC is relatively high as long as it meets the requirements. The difference between CEC and other immigrant categories is that it pays more attention to the experience accumulated by applicants during their work or study in Canada, and takes it as a key factor in screening. Applicants can apply during their work in Canada or within 1 year after leaving Canada.

If the applicant has a job, he must have at least two years full-time technical work experience in Canada (or equivalent to two years full-time); If the applicant is a student, he must have graduated from a Canadian college and have at least one year of full-time technical work experience in Canada (or equivalent to 1 year full-time). The premise is that the applicant's work or study channels must be formal and legal, and he plans to live in any province in Canada except Quebec.

Among them, the so-called "technical work" includes category 0 (management work), category A (professional work) or category B (skilled work) in the National Vocational Ceremony of Canada (NOC). "Full-time" refers to paid work of at least 37.5 hours per week, and paid work of one year 1950 hours can also be considered.

If you apply as a skilled worker or graduate student, the applicant will be checked for his work experience or education in Canada and his English/French level. Canadian work experience must be obtained within two years before the application after completing Canadian studies, and the work experience gained during the study period cannot be counted.

CEC only needs to prove the applicant's first language ability. Generally speaking, English-speaking applicants need to provide IELTS scores, while French-speaking applicants need to provide TEF scores as proof. At present, the Canadian Immigration Bureau has cancelled the evaluation of applicants' language ability through interviews, so applicants can only provide valid language scores as proof.

To apply for an international graduate, the applicant must complete one of the following education in Canada: First, at least two years of full-time Canadian college education. Two, one-year postgraduate degree courses (excluding one-year postgraduate certificate or diploma courses), plus one-year courses completed in Canada before the postgraduate entrance, that is, add up to two years; Intensive English/French courses do not count. Third, the courses must be provided by private or public higher education institutions recognized by Canada, such as colleges or universities or private CEGEP (CEGEP is the French abbreviation for College of General and Vocational Education, which is a unique education model in Quebec, Canada, providing two-year general education or three-year technical education between secondary schools and universities, equivalent to the third year of high school and the first year of university in China).
