Minimum requirements
You must:

have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you apply,
have gained your experience in Canada with the proper authorization,
meet the required language levels needed for your job for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing and listening),
plan to live outside the province of Quebec.
Self-employment and work experience gained while you were a full-time student (for example, on a co-op work term) does not count under this program.

Note: The province of Quebec does not use Express Entry. They select their own skilled workers. See Quebec-selected skilled workers to find out more.

Skilled work experience
To be considered for the Canadian Experience Class, you need to have Canadian skilled work experience within three years of applying. According to the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), skilled work experience means:

Managerial jobs (NOC skill level 0)
Professional jobs (NOC skill type A)
Technical jobs and skilled trades (NOC skill type B)
Your experience must be at least 12 months of full-time (30 hours of paid work per week or more) or an equal amount in part-time hours.

2) If yes, do we need to submit the Education Credential assessment (ECA) details while submitting the EE profile?

Education
There is no education requirement for Canadian Experience Class. But, if you want to earn points for your education under Express Entry, you either need:

a Canadian secondary (high school) or post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree,
OR

a completed foreign credential, and
an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from an agency approved by CIC. [The report must show your foreign education is equal to a completed Canadian secondary (high school) or post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree.]

You will find all the information you need here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

There is an express entry eligibility tool you must use before you can create a profile which will tell you if you are eligible

Hi,

Kindly clarify the following doubts.

1) My husband has worked in Canada as IT manager from Jan 2012 - May 2013. Are we eligible to file under CEC, if filing after July 2015? If he is filing his application in August 2015 under CEC, he must have gained his 1 year relevant experience during the period: August 2012 - August 2015. Any Canadian experience outside of this period will not count as CEC work experience. So, based on the information you provided, he would not qualify under CEC, because only 10 months of his work experience would be taken into consideration and he needs 12.

2) If yes, do we need to submit the Education Credential assessment (ECA) details while submitting the EE profile? He may still qualify under FSW, and he would need an ECA for his foreign credentials in order to create and submit his EE profile.

Thanks in adance.
