Canadian Experience Class

In the Canadian experience class program, there is no mandatory education requirement. However, if you are looking to improve your ranking in the express entry pool, these are two options:

• If you have a degree from a Canadian school, you can get this point for a certificate, diploma, or degree from a Canadian Secondary School or  Post-Secondary Institution.

Or

• If you have an international degree, you can get points for a completed educational credential. You can do this by proving the equivalency of your international degree to a Canadian Degree, Certificate, or Diploma from a Canadian Secondary School or Post-Secondary institute. You will need to provide an ECA report for immigration purposes.

The current requirements are:

• a minimum language level of CLB 7 for NOC 0 or A jobs
