Applications under the Express Entry stream represent an expedited process for applying for immigration to Canada for permanent resident status, for candidates who fall under one of the following four programs:
-
(FEDERAL SKILLED TRADES CLASS (FSTC)) – The government program for workers who have undergone vocational training. The immigration department in Canada prioritizes individuals with vocational training who can contribute their expertise to the country’s economy. To apply for immigration to Canada under this category, there are several requirements that must be met. Here are some of them:
Key Requirements:
- Professional Experience: You must demonstrate at least two years of work experience in the desired professional field within the last seven years.
- Training: You must hold formal training or on-the-job training in the professional field.
- Language Skills: You must pass a language test (such as IELTS or CELPIP) and achieve the appropriate scores.
- Job Offer: Not required, but if you have a Canadian job offer in the field, it can improve your chances.
- Professional Certification: In certain professions, certification or licensing from Canadian institutions may be required.
Occupations in this Stream:
- Builders
- Electricians
- Technicians and other technological professions
- Machine technicians
- Additional occupations in manufacturing and construction
-
(FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS) – The government program for the approval of professionals. If you are found eligible in terms of professional skills for integration into the country’s economy, this is where you will undergo professional placement according to the government’s need in terms of employers and provinces requiring workers.
Key Requirements:
- Work Experience: Must demonstrate experience in a relevant field of work.
- Education: Academic or professional certificate according to the requirements of the profession.
- Language Skills: The candidate must pass a language test in English or French.
- Points: Candidates accumulate points based on various criteria such as age, education, work experience, and language skills.
-
(CANADIAN EXPERIENCE CLASS (CEC)) The “Canadian Experience Class” (CEC) program is one of the categories for those who hold temporary worker status and have already gained experience and professional connections within Canada and are awaiting permanent resident status approval. The program is primarily intended for foreign workers and international students who have completed their studies and are working in professional positions.
Key Requirements:
- Work Experience: Must prove at least one year of work experience in Canada within the last three years.
- English or French Language: Must pass a language test and achieve the required score.
- Legal Status: Must hold a legal visa at the time of application.

Advantages:
- The process is relatively fast compared to other categories.
- Allows candidates who have proven their abilities in the Canadian labor market to integrate more easily.
-
(PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM (PNP)) – A program that combines the Express Entry program for candidates who have received a NOMINATION, support from one province or another. This support grants a bonus score of 600 points.
Key Principles of PNP:
- Selection by Province: Each province can set its own criteria for selecting candidates to suit its needs.
- Variety of Streams: There are different streams depending on various fields such as work, investment, and marriage.
- Support from the Province: Accepted candidates can receive support from the province to facilitate their immigration process.
- Permanent Immigration: Candidates selected by the province can apply to immigrate to Canada on a permanent basis.
Advantages:
- Opportunities for Skilled Workers: The program is designed to attract workers with specific skills to provinces where there is a labor shortage.
- Faster Process: Sometimes, the immigration process can be faster compared to other programs.
What needs to be done for Express Entry to Canada?
Candidates for Express Entry approval must first open a personal profile that contains all the required details such as: work experience, skills, education, and other important professional data. The more detailed the profile, including a potential pending job offer and detailed professional skills, the higher it will be ranked in terms of eligibility for an entry visa. Candidates found suitable for one of the 3 categories detailed above will directly enter the pool of profiles for Express Entry to Canada. Candidates who do not have prior employment authorization (LIMA) or a formal invitation from a specific province in Canada must register with “Job Bank of Canada” offered through ESDC, through which candidates can connect with those already in the “Express Entry” process and become acquainted with potential employers through them.
Of course, being in the “Express Entry to Canada” process does not guarantee eligibility for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence and still requires all documents and procedures under Canada’s immigration law.
