Canada invites 6,300 skilled workers for permanent residency

Canada has extended invitations to foreign nationals keen on securing permanent residency through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programme.

This initiative by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is a golden opportunity for skilled workers with Canadian work experience.

On July 17, 2024, a staggering 6,300 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency under the Express Entry draw for the CEC were dispatched.

These invitations were valid until July 18, 2024. In contrast, the previous round on May 31, 2024 saw 3,000 ITAs sent out.

The CEC is specifically designed for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and are looking to become permanent residents. To qualify, applicants must meet several criteria:
1.Work experience: At least one year of skilled work experience in Canada within the last three years.
2.Language proficiency: Demonstrated ability in English or French.
3.Valid work authorisation: Experience gained while legally permitted to work in Canada.

Skilled work experience involves occupations classified under Canada's National Occupational Classification (NOC) in the following TEER categories:
TEER 0: Management roles (e.g., advertising managers, restaurant managers, engineering managers, construction managers).
TEER 1: Jobs usually requiring a university degree (e.g., software engineers, accountants, lawyers, graphic designers).
TEER 2: Positions often needing a college diploma or apprenticeship (e.g., medical laboratory technologists, electricians, chefs).
