Frequently asked questions:
Canadian Experience Class

Canada has agreements with several countries to allow their citizens to work in Canada temporarily under a working holiday program. If part or all of my work experience in Canada was gained under such a program, can it be counted toward the work experience requirement in the Canadian Experience Class?

Yes — However, your work experience must still be classified as NOC 0, A or B under the National Occupational Classification system.
