Canada’s immigration system gives high priority to skilled professionals and their families. Canada is eager to welcome hardworking professionals and give them the Permanent Residence (PR) in the country. The PR card entitles the holder to live or work anywhere in Canada and apply for Canada citizenship after a certain period if they meet the eligibility criteria.

Immigration & Visa so far
The Express Entry system launched on January 1st, 2015, allows the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to manage applications for three major Federal Economic Immigration programs, which are the (FSWP) Federal Skilled Worker Program, the (FSTP) Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program. It is a fast-track process, and the applicants may get their applications processed within six months.
To receive an Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence (ITA) in Canada through Express Entry, an individual must first create an Express Entry profile. The profile must provide summarised information regarding the credentials and qualifications of the applicant. Based on the information, each profile will be awarded a score out of 1200. The highest-scoring candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the Express Entry draws, which are conducted periodically.
When you create an Express Entry profile, you have options to create a profile on the official Job Bank database of the Government of Canada. Canadian employers can look for candidates suitable for their vacancies. If an Express Entry candidate has a job offer from a Canadian employer, it raises the rank of that candidate and their chances of being invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada. If the employer wants the applicant to be in Canada sooner, they may apply for a dual intent work permit and sponsor the candidate’s application for permanent residence in Canada. Also, the employer has to get a Labour Market Impact Assessment done to recruit a foreign worker.

The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program is an economic immigration program of Canada that came under the Express Entry introduced on January 1, 2015. Earlier, only those applicants having specific types of employment backgrounds were allowed to apply for permanent residence in Canada under the FSW program. It meant those candidates whose occupations did not qualify to be one of the prioritized occupations of Canada, could not apply under this program. This prerequisite was also taken away on January 1, 2015.
Just as the Federal Skilled Worker program and the Canadian Experience Class program, Under the Express Entry programme, the Federal Trade Program is managed.
Canadian Experience Class is one of the economic immigration programs of Canada managed under the Express Entry system. CEC is a pass-fail system where there is no minimum point threshold an applicant has to meet to be eligible. You only have to meet the minimum requirements to qualify for the program. But it must be remembered that CEC is managed under the Express Entry system, and only those with the best qualifications are selected for permanent residence in Canada under Express Entry.
