The Express Entry program is an application process for skilled immigrants who want to settle in
Canada permanently. There are 3 immigration programs managed through Express Entry:
- Canadian Experience Class: for skilled workers with eligible Canadian work experience
- Federal Skilled Worker Program: for skilled workers with eligible foreign work experience
- Federal Skilled Trades Program: for skilled workers who are qualified in a skilled trade
- Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target
- Students
- Business People
- Skilled Workers
- Semi-skilled Workers
If you’re eligible for one of the above programs, you can also apply through Express Entry process for the Provincial Nominee Program. If you’re nominated, you could either be awarded additional points that will help you get invited to apply or apply for permanent residence online through the Non- Express Entry process.
