Hi
Here is the Canada Gazette posting of the rules and regulations for the Canada Experience Class (CEC) http://tinyurl.com/5mmyum
This will be of interest to students and workers.
"The proposed Regulations create two distinct streams with different thresholds for each selection criterion, one for recent foreign graduates, and the other for temporary foreign workers. Foreign graduates will need to obtain 12 months of legal work experience within a 24-month period prior to making a CEC application, obtain a Canadian credential by studying in Canada full-time for at least two academic years, and meet the language benchmark for their occupation skill level. Temporary foreign workers will need to obtain 24 months of legal work experience in Canada within a 36-month period prior to making a CEC application and meet the language benchmark for their occupation skill level.
With regards to language thresholds, applicants with qualifying Canadian work experience at NOC 0 or A will need to demonstrate moderate proficiency in French or English. Applicants with qualifying Canadian work experience at NOC B will need to demonstrate basic proficiency in French or English. "
