Experience Class AND skilled worker?

[BHaston]

Hello! I was wondering whether somebody might be able to help.

I think I fit the requirements for the CEC - with the new 12 month rule using my outdoor education experience (NOC - 5254 Program leaders and instructors in recreation, sport and fitness). I should have my application complete and posted during the first week of April (IELTS test slowing things down a bit)

My education, Canadian work experience, and English level will probably also make me eligible to apply as a skilled worker when it is released (May 4th I think). I'm keen to sort out residency and don't want to miss this opportunity.

My questions are-
1) are you allowed to apply for two residency streams at once?
2) do you get refunded if you are not successful?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Based on what you have said there should be no need to apply for both streams.

CEC is very simple, and tends to be quick.
