Hi,

Does education matter if I apply under CEC ?

NO..JUST WORK EXPERIENCE...SOMEBODY PLEASE CORRECT ME IF M WRONG...

TEXT FROM CIC WEBSITE:

To apply for permanent resident status through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC):

you must have the required work experience in Canada and it must have been acquired while you had the proper work permits or authorizations.
you must also be able to communicate in one of Canada’s two official languages.
 
what did you take in school?
 
is the company you work for a big one or just small private one?

Short answer: not really.

There are "employment requirements" (which include educational requirements) in the NOC description, but these are not mandatory for CEC.

Some cases where education might be cited as a reason for refusal:
- it's a regulated industry, e.g. medicine
- the applicant made a weak case for the skilled NOC code that they chose (and a more appropriate, lower-skilled NOC exists).

Education won't matter here. It's not a regulated occupation, and there aren't any lower-skilled occupations within skill type 2 (Natural and applied sciences and related occupations) at all.
