How to move to Canada

Move to Canada as a permanent resident

Canada uses the Express Entry system to regulate skilled worker/ economic immigration to the Country. This is a point based online application system. To file an application in this stream, the applicant should qualify under one of the following federal economic immigration programs, mentioned below.
● The Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC)
● The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
● The Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC)

A particular portion of Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) is aligned with the Express entry system. Hence the provinces can also be able to select potential candidates from express entry pool for the local job market.

Who will qualify for the Express entry system and how does it work?

The candidates submit an expression of interest (EOI) to IRCC by creating an Express Entry profile. This profile includes your personal information, skills set, work experience, language proficiency, education, and other details. Once your profile is accepted and placed in the pool of candidates, you will be ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS). Those with a higher score in the CRS will eventually receive an Invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residency in Canada.

How does express entry work?

The candidates make an expression of interest (EOI) by creating an Express Entry profile. Citizenship and Immigration Canada conducts regular draws from the pool. The applicants with a higher score will get an invitation to apply for permanent residency.

The comprehensive ranking system is a point-based system that assesses the applicant by his/her academic history, language skills, work experience, age and other demographic factors. Later the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducts regular draws from the pool and applicants with a higher score will get an invitation to apply for the permanent residence.

For instance, the Provincial nominees are eligible for 6oo bonus points, whereas the applicants with a valid full-time job offer from an employer in Canada will get an additional either 50 to 200 bonus points in the Comprehensive ranking system. If you are somebody seeking a job in Canada, then better register with the job bank, an online search engine which has job positions across the country. If a candidate in the Express Entry pool secures a job with a Canadian employer, then they will be provided with extra points for arranged employment in Canada. The arranged employment in your CRS score and thereby the chance to get an ITA.
