Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
As of January 2015, skilled immigrants including Canadian Experience Class candidates will need to be placed in the Express Entry pool and receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in order to be eligible for immigration. Please consult Marvin Moses Law Office to find out more about the Express Entry system.
