Express Entry provides a pathway to permanent residence for skilled workers in Canada or overseas.
Express Entry is an online system that we use to manage applications for permanent residence for 3 programs:
• Federal Skilled Worker Program
• Federal Skilled Trades Program
• 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.
PNP allow Canadian provinces/territories to nominate individuals for immigration to their province/territory based on criteria set by the provincial/territorial government. Successful applicants obtain a provincial nomination, which allows them to apply for permanent residence.
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 have its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target
• Students
