Express Entry
This is an online system of applying for immigration to Canada that covers three streams of immigration:
▲ Federal Skilled Worker Program – An immigration option for those who apply based on their education, work experience, knowledge of English or French languages, age, job opportunities in Canada, and adaptability to our country.
▲ Canadian Experience Class – If you have recently worked in Canada, you could qualify for this option. This is the most popular Express Entry option for those who have already entered Canada with a valid work permit or, in some cases, a study permit.
▲ Federal Skilled Trades Program – This method encourages skilled tradespeople to immigrate to Canada. There is a limited list of acceptable jobs.
Federal Self-employed Class
Despite its generic name, this method is limited to self-employed people under the following categories only.
▲ Traditionally, self-employed people in cultural activities cover performing artists, visual artists, authors, experts in fine arts, etc.
▲ Self-employed people in athletics – This option is for professional athletes, internationally acclaimed athletes, and coaches.
Start-up Visa
If you have an innovative idea and receive support from certain organizations in Canada, you may immigrate to Canada under this program.
Atlantic Immigration Pilot
If you receive a valid job offer from an employer located in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Endward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador, you may immigrate to Canada. Since this is a pilot program, the government may stop it at any time.
Caregivers
If you have worked as a caregiver for minor children or people with high medical needs, you may later apply for permanent residency under this program. The applicants usually work for two years or more with a valid work permit and eventually file for permanent residency.
