Becoming a Permanent Resident through Express Entry

A new Canadian immigrant looking for information to help family or relatives to become permanent residents can consider one suitable system if they are skilled workers. Express Entry is a relatively new method that allows skilled workers to become Canadian permanent residents.

Express Entry has three programs that applicants can pick from when applying for permanent residency. These programs are; Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Programs, and the Canadian Experience Class. Through the Provincial Nominee Program, Provinces have the chance to recruit people from Express Entry.

How it Works

Express Entry is one of the quickest ways for skilled workers to get to Canada. There is an Express Entry Pool that workers have to apply to electronically. Candidates in this pool get points by meeting certain qualifications such a job offers, skills, and experience, language ability, education qualifications, and nomination by provinces. The highest ranking candidates in the pool then get an invitation to apply for permanent residency. A point of importance is that there are still requirements for admissibility that invited candidates must meet to become permanent residents.

Meeting Requirements

Candidates must provide all the necessary documents for processing. One should analyse the different programs and their eligibility requirements to see if they meet them. Creating an online profile for Express Entry will help in providing the necessary information. These profiles are valid up to a year.

If you are a new immigrant and know of skilled workers that want to immigrate to Canada, then you can provide them with this information. Find the preparations one has to make to improve online profiles to suit requirements for Express Entry.
