PERMANENT RESIDENCE
EXPRESS ENTRY
Express Entry is the fastest and most popular pathway to permanent residence under a Comprehensive Ranking System to rank candidates for immigrants who are seeking a new life in Canada.
The system manages three main federal economic programs:
1. FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS:
This program allows candidates with foreign work experience and no connections to Canada to apply for permanent residency. Your profile will be evaluated in base of your level of education, you work experience, your languages, your age, among others factors.
2. FEDERAL SKILL TRADES:
Your qualifications in certain skilled trades plus your level on English and French will contribute on your evaluation to determinate if you can get granted a Canadian Permanent Residence, under this category.
3. CANADIAN EXPERIENCE CLASS:
If you have worked in Canada during 1 year, which has been paid and is under the required type of jobs, you may be eligible to apply for a permanent residence.
SPONSORSHIP
If you are direct family of a Canadian citizen or a Permanent Resident you can be sponsored to come to Canada as a Permanent Resident. If you become a permanent resident, you can live, study and work in Canada.
PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS
Besides the Federal Programs, each Canadian province has its own agreements with the Federal Government on which each Province accepts and chooses immigrants that wish to live in that Province.
