Applicants must meet the required language level of skill for writing, reading, listening, and speaking. They must meet the minimum score of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 5 for speaking and listening, and CLB 4 for reading and writing. They must also have at least two years of full-time, paid work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work experience) in a skilled trade within the five years before they apply and meet the job requirements for that skilled trade as set out in the NOC, except for those needing a certificate of qualification. Candidates under the program must also have a valid job offer of full-time employment for a total period of at least one year or a certificate of qualification in that skilled trade issued by a Canadian provincial, territorial or federal authority. Applicants to the CEC must also meet the language requirements and have at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada in the last three years but that work can have been either:

• a full-time job for up to 30 hours per week for 12 months for a minimum of 1,560 hours, or;
• the equal amount of experience through any combination of part-time jobs provided it added up to at least 1,560 hours.

That also includes any work experience a foreign national may have gained by working in Canada while under a temporary resident visa with authorization to work. But it has to be paid work.
