Express Entry
Express Entry is commonly referred to as “Canada Immigration Express Entry” in Pakistan is a new application management system introduced by the Canadian government, to process certain types of skilled immigrants. The Express Entry system is used by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to invite skilled workers to come to Canada. Foreign nationals who wish to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence must first express their interest in the Express Entry pool. In each of the four categories, there are regular rounds of invites in which Eligible applicants are invited to apply for Permanent Residence. Express Entry now processes the following four types of immigration applications:
- Federal Skilled Worker - FSW
- Federal Skilled Trades Worker - FSTC
- Canadian Experience Class - CEC
- Provincial Nomination of certain Provincial programs - PNPs
Candidates need to fulfill the eligibility criteria of one of the above-mentioned classes.
Federal Skilled Worker
All visa applications for Canadian immigration under the Federal Skilled Worker Program are evaluated based on the applicant’s ability to settle and succeed economically once migrates to Canada. They are evaluated based on their academic credentials, English or French language skills, and work experience relevant to the skilled migration visa categories required by the National Occupation Classification.
It is done through the Express Entry system, which manages the applications of persons from all over the world who want to immigrate to Canada. A large number of our Pakistanis immigrate to Canada in this way.
If you are unfamiliar with the system and how it works, know that it is a point-based system that distributes points to application profiles. Age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and flexibility are all variables that are used to allocate points. Applicants with the most points are invited to apply for immigration first, followed by applicants with the lowest number of points.
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTC)
Skilled workers who demonstrate their ability to settle and succeed in the Canadian economy after skilled immigration are eligible for the Federal Skilled Trades Program. Applicants with qualifying credentials or job offers are permitted to work in a variety of industries in order to get Permanent Residency in Canada in any province other than Quebec under this program.
Applicants must have at least two job offers from Canadian firms with a minimum work duration of one year and must be fluent in English.
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
The Canadian Experience Class is for individuals who are temporarily working in Canada as foreign skilled workers and want to apply for permanent residency. CEC applicants are perfect for Canadian skilled immigration since they have already earned work experience in Canada and have adapted to its lifestyle and economy. Prior to the visa application date, the candidate for a Canada Skilled Workers Visa must have a minimum of one year of professional work experience or 36 months of skilled work experience in Canada. They must also meet the Basic English language standards and intend to live and work in Canada.
Provincial Nominee Program:
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces to nominate people from all over the world who wish to immigrate to those provinces. Canada has signed separate agreements with each of the 10 provinces and three territories to nominate talented workers on their behalf. These agreements allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate permanent citizens to live in their provinces and help satisfy the labor shortage and demand for skilled workers in specific areas. This program is being implemented in the provinces and territories listed below.
- Alberta
- British Columbia
- Manitoba
- Nova Scotia
- New Brunswick
- New Found land & Labrador
- Nunavut
- Northern Territories
- Ontario
- Prince Edwards Island
- Quebec (Separate agreement)
- Saskatchewan
- Yukon
The provincial nomination program has been very popular in recent years due to the very high threshold of Federal programs. Provincial programs have comparatively flexible eligibility criteria. However, because each province has its own demographic makeup, the majority of their nomination programs are either occupation-restricted or based on employment offers. The job offer route may be effective for high-tech and technical professions. Other applicants must follow the route of in-demand jobs.
The Provincial Nominee Program, on the other hand, typically has less competition than the Federal Skilled Worker Program. This allows those with lower profile scores to immigrate to Canada as well.
Some PNPs have no job offers. Applicants are rated based on their points. The top scorers in various occupations are invited to apply for Provincial nomination. After receiving the Provincial nomination, the application is sent to the federal government, either through Express Entry with an additional 600 points in their CRS or through a straight paper application for Permanent Residence.
This program, uses the Express Entry system that assigns points to the profiles of applicants. Applicants are ranked based on their education, age, experience, and English and French language skills, as well as their education and experience in that province, job offer, and family in that province.
