If I have already applied as a skilled worker, can I apply under the Canadian Experience Class?

Yes, but you must submit a new application with new fees.

If Citizenship and Immigration Canada has not started processing your skilled worker application, you can withdraw it. You may get a refund.

You are allowed to apply under more than one immigration program at the same time. However, if you are accepted to more than one, you will have to choose the one under which your permanent resident status will be granted.
