If you meet these requirements, you may be able to apply for permanent residency through the CEC. The process for applying for the CEC involves submitting an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and completing a medical examination and security clearance, if required. It is important to note that the CEC is a competitive program and not all applicants will be approved. 

An immigration consultant from stayincanada.com can help you in applying for the CEC by providing guidance on the application process and representing you before the government with the preparation and submission of the application. An immigration consultant can also provide information on other immigration options that may be available to individuals based on their specific circumstances.
