"Experience-based immigration" mainly targets international students and foreign workers with local work experience. The approval time for this type of immigration application is usually faster, and the rejection rate for Quebec immigration is relatively low.
"Experience-based immigration" is easier than "skilled immigration." In response to this new immigration project called "experience-based immigration," international students have varied reactions. Some actively apply as the "first to try," while others are unwilling to take risks and choose to apply for the more stable Federal Skilled Worker Program. Experts believe that overseas graduates choosing "experience-based immigration" would have more advantages compared to "skilled immigration."
Firstly, the average application time for Canadian "experience-based immigration" in 2009 was only 5-6 months, with a rejection rate of about 4%, which is the lowest among all immigration categories. On the other hand, the average application time for Canadian skilled immigration in 2009 was approximately 12-14 months, where those belonging to the "38紧缺职业" (scarce occupations) needed around 6-12 months, with a higher chance of approval. Those not belonging to "scarce occupations" could even be delayed for 5 years and had a high rejection rate.
Secondly, "experience-based immigration" is not restricted by the "38 scarce occupations" required for skilled immigration. Graduates from other majors have significantly increased opportunities for immigration. There are fewer restrictions for Canadian "experience-based immigration" compared to skilled immigration. As long as the job falls under NOC (National Occupational Classification) O, A, or B categories, it can be used to apply for "experience-based immigration." Applicants only need to have 12 months of work experience within the last 24 months before applying. Part-time work with sufficient hours also qualifies.
Lastly, there is no strict requirement for applicants' work to be related to their major in Canadian "experience-based immigration," whereas skilled immigration has such requirements.
France is the largest Francophone region, and many domestic French major undergraduates with certain economic strength have the idea of studying in France. However, due to the limited number of spots in France, a large number of students are rejected each year. In contrast to French major undergraduates who were rejected for France, Canada's Quebec is the largest Francophone region outside of France. With 6.8 million descendants of the French, Quebec does not have an entrance exam at the graduate school stage, and no French proficiency score is required when applying. After graduation, one can automatically obtain a three-year work visa, and after working for a year, one can apply for immigration. Compared to skilled immigration, experience-based immigration is more suitable for international student applications.
