What is CEC?
The CEC is short for Canadian Experience Class which is one of the Canada’s key economic immigration programs and allows foreign nationals who have skilled work experience and are currently residing in Canada to apply for permanent residence. Under this category, temporary foreign nationals and international student graduates who have acquired qualifying working experience can apply for permanent residents.
Often, the reason why Canadian employers would hire a foreign work is because they couldn’t find the suitable candidates in domestic market. In other words, those foreign workers that come to Canada for the job position might have diverse skills which can satisfy the employers’ needs and contribute to our society. After having established extensive network through work and life experience in Canada, those foreign nationals become familiar and comfortable with their community and do not wish to leave. Also, the employers have invested on those workers and they don’t want their investment just go away. That has driven the foreign workers wish to stay permanently.
