News Release — Improving the Canadian Experience Class

Ottawa, November 8, 2013 — Today, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced changes to improve the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) so that the program continues to attract top quality candidates.

“The Canadian Experience Class has allowed more than 25,000 people to stay in Canada permanently to contribute their skills and talents,” said Alexander. “The government is taking concrete action to reduce backlogs and processing times. By making these changes to the Canadian Experience Class, we are moving toward a more effective and efficient immigration system.”

In order to manage intake, maintain reasonable processing times and prevent a backlog from developing in the CEC, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is introducing an annual cap on the number of new CEC applications. CIC will accept a maximum of 12,000 CEC applications from November 9, 2013, to October 31, 2014.

Despite the annual cap on applications, the department will admit approximately 15,000 individuals under the CEC in 2014.

CIC is also seeing an overrepresentation of certain occupations in the program. In order to bring in as diverse a skill set as possible, the department will introduce limits on the number of applications under certain occupations.

Effective November 9, 2013, CIC will introduce sub-caps of 200 applications each in certain skilled occupations. Also, six particular occupations will no longer be eligible for the CEC.

Full details of the new CEC intake measures are available in the backgrounder and will be published in the Canada Gazette tomorrow.

Vol. 147, No. 45 — November 9, 2013

GOVERNMENT NOTICES
DEPARTMENT OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION
IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE PROTECTION ACT
Ministerial Instructions
Notice is hereby given, under subsection 87.3(6) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, that the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has established the following Ministerial Instructions that, in the opinion of the Minister, will best support the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada.

Overview
Authority for Ministerial Instructions is derived from section 87.3 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). Instructions are directed to officers and their delegates who are charged with handling and/or reviewing applications for permanent or temporary visas to enter Canada.

The Instructions are consistent with the IRPA objectives laid out in section 3 of the Act and are compliant with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Instructions do not apply to refugees or protected persons or persons making a request on humanitarian or compassionate grounds from within Canada.

The Instructions respect all previously established accords and agreements including the Quebec-Canada Accord and all existing agreements with provinces and territories.

These Ministerial Instructions identify eligibility criteria for applications and requests for certain immigration categories. Applications meeting these criteria are eligible for processing under these Instructions.

These Instructions will come into force on November 9, 2013, and apply to applications received by the designated Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) office on or after November 9, 2013.

All applications received by the designated CIC offices prior to November 9, 2013, shall continue to be considered for processing according to the Ministerial Instructions in place at the time of their receipt.

Any categories for which Instructions are not specifically issued shall continue to be processed in the usual manner, as per processing priorities established by the Department.

Economic Class
Canadian Experience Class
These Instructions are intended to manage the processing of new applications received for the Canadian Experience Class, enabling CIC to reduce application inventories.

Cap and sub-caps on the number of applications to be processed per year
A maximum of 12 000 new complete applications submitted for the Canadian Experience Class will be considered for processing each year. Within the 12 000 cap, a maximum of 200 complete applications submitted for each occupation at Skill Level B, as defined in the 2011 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC), will be considered for processing each year, except in the six occupations specified below. CIC will not consider for processing Canadian Experience Class applications for which the applicant claims work experience in one or more of the ineligible occupations set out below in support of their application, unless the applicant claims qualifying (see footnote 1) work experience in other NOC Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B occupations.

Ineligible NOC occupations:

1221 Administrative officers
1241 Administrative assistants
1311 Accounting technicians and bookkeepers
6211 Retail sales supervisors
6311 Food service supervisors
6322 Cooks
Once an application is placed into processing, an officer may refuse an application if the officer determines that the applicant has work experience in one or more of the six ineligible occupations listed above and the officer is not satisfied that the applicant has the required qualifying work experience in other NOC Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B occupations.

In all cases, applications placed into processing are still subject to the requirements of the Canadian Experience Class and all other applicable requirements under the IRPA.

For further clarity, there is no sub-cap on the number of new applications submitted at NOC Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A. However, these occupations are subject to the overall cap of 12 000 complete applications.

To calculate the caps, applications will be considered in order of the date they are received. Applications received on the same date will be considered for processing having regard to routine office procedures.

For the unique purpose of calculating the caps, the cap year will begin on November 9, 2013, and end on October 31, 2014, unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction. Subsequent years will be calculated from November 1 to October 31 unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction.

Instructions for processing Canadian Experience Class applications
In order to be included under the caps and considered for processing, applications must be completed according to the application kit requirements in place at the time the application is received by the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and must meet the criteria set out below.

Complete Canadian Experience Class applications received by the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on or after November 9, 2013, whose applicants meet the language threshold for the Canadian Experience Class as set by the Minister pursuant to subsection 74(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), in each of the four language abilities (speaking, reading, writing, and oral comprehension), (see footnote 2) that do not exceed the caps set out above and are not claiming work experience in one or more of the six ineligible occupations listed above in support of the application, shall be placed into processing.

No humanitarian and compassionate requests to overcome requirements of Ministerial Instructions
Requests made on the basis of humanitarian and compassionate grounds from outside Canada that accompany any application affected by these Ministerial Instructions, but not identified for processing under the Instructions, will not be processed.

Retention/Disposition
Applicants whose applications do not meet the criteria described above shall be informed that their application does not qualify for processing and shall have their processing fee returned.

回复: 【最新消息】加拿大经验类移民（CEC）作出重大调整

1、2013.11--2014.10 期间，CEC总配额12000个
2、NOC的B类职业，每个职业最高配额200个
3、1221、1241、1311、6211、6311、6322 这6个职业不能申请CEC

个人推断：压力山大部长把CEC的时间窗口设在2014年10月，很明显是为了在2015年1月推出的EOI系统让路。到2105年，加拿大将再无CEC——而是像澳洲EOI那样，在加拿大学习或工作的经历可以给申请人相应加分，但不会为此单独设置独立的移民类别。
