Canadian Experience Class

In 2008, Canada Immigration created the CEC class, intended to assimilate temporary foreign workers (except live-in caregivers) or a foreign student who graduated in Canada. This particular class was envision with the hope that they will have a better chance of a successful transition since they are already familiar with Canadian Society and be able to contribute to the Canadian economy in the shortest possible time.
