Express Entry
Canada is looking for skilled professionals!
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.
Canada Express Entry
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.
Express Entry process
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.
Benefits Canadian employers
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.
