Education required:
0, A, or B
Important notes:
For CEC purposes, full time means 30 or more hours of work per week at least 1,560 hours in a
year. The hours can consist of work in more than one skilled job.
Work experience gained while you are studying on a study permit (e.g. co-op work or teaching
assistantships) does not count towards CEC requirements.
Work experience can be non-continuous (i.e. there can be breaks between your employment).
Work experience can be gained on temporary contracts. However, self-employed work does not count
towards CEC requirements.
If you apply for CEC but your authorization to work in Canada (e.g. your post-graduation work permit)
will expire within four months, you may be eligible to apply for a bridging open work permit. This will
allow you to maintain legal temporary resident status and continue working in Canada while you wait for
your PR application to be finalized. You can only apply after you received an Acknowledgement of
Receipt letter or e-mail from CIC (meaning you received a positive eligibility assessment on your
application). See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp.
