Eligible to apply for PR under CEC

[sumitthegreat]

Hi,

I am on Closed work permit in Canada and have continuous 1 year of experience in Canada but my employer did not extend my contract after one year but have given me complete 1 year experience letter.

Now I am leaving for my home country. Am I still eligible to apply for PR under CEC category from my home country?

Please advise.

It's fine so long as your work experience is within the previous three years.

Yes, you can apply from your home country. Please apply asap as both CEC and FSW programs will be closed by this year end and express PR program will start from Jan 2015.

Just a correction. Both CEC and FSW programs are going to continue under the new Express Entry program.

The immigration structure is changing to the Express Entry system from January 1, 2015.

If you're considering applying for PR, you might want to read about immigration on the CIC's website - it's not something that they're keeping secret.

FSW and CEC programs will continue to exist, but the application process will be electronic (woo, 21st century!) and the eligibility will be different.

This is the sub-forum for Express Entry:

Only the applications received in 2015 will come under Express Entry. My reaction was on the Bob456 statement where he wrote that the FWS and CEC will be closed under Express Entry (which is untrue).
