EXPRESS ENTRY

Express Entry is an online system that is used my the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. There are 3 federal programs within Express Entry. 

 

  • Federal Skilled Worker

  • Federal Skilled Trades

  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

 

After the candidate is drawn from the Express Entry pool and receives and ITA (Invitation to Apply), most complete applications that have all the supporting documents are processed in 6 months or less.   

 

Express Entry ensures that candidates who are most likely to succeed economically – not simply those first in line – are able to immigrate to Canada.

PROVENCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS

Provinces and territories can also recruit candidates from the Express Entry system through their Provincial Nominee Programs to meet local labour market needs.

​

This program is for workers who:

  • have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory

  • want to live in that province, and

  • want to become permanent residents of Canada

 

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. ​ ​ ​
