Length of time that a temporary foreign worker needs to have worked full-time in the Canada to qualify for PR under CEC will be reduced from 24 months to 12 months in January 2013, according to a tweet by CIC Minister Jason Kenney.

The announcement on the date of the CEC program rule change was made in a response to a tweet directed to Kenney, who is quite active on the micro-blogging site, on November 5th:

@KaushikJay The new 1 year threshold for high-skilled temporary foreign workers to qualify for CDN Experience Class will start January, 2013

Revamped FSW program would be released in the “1st half of 2013″ and that there would only be “a very limited number of new applications” accepted in 2013, to help CIC “asses [sic] the new grid & educational evaluation”.

Does anyone know if there will be changes to CEC applicants that are international graduates? Does the required work experience stay the same at 12 months or reduce to 6 months?

Hi All,

this is an Interesting news, I have couple of queries regarding the same and I wish someone could help me...

I am working as Skilled Temporary Foreign in Montreal(Software Engineer) for last one year(14 months), am I eligible to Apply for the Federal Experience class program?(Quebec has its own immig-system so just wanted make sure whether I am eligible under the Federal)

Regarding the IELTS, whether my spouse is also required to take the IELTS Test?

Police certificate is required from the Indian consulate or from RCMP?

Thanks
Aniyan Abraham Paul
