Skilled immigrants are chosen as permanent residents based on their ability to settle in Canada and take part in Canada's economy. The CIC assess them on their:

 

  • English and/or French language skills,education,

  • work experience, and

  • other factors that have been shown to help newcomers prosper in Canada.

 

As of January 2015, there is a new system to manage how people with skilled work experience apply to immigrate to Canada. It is called Express Entry.

 

Under Express Entry, people will first fill out an online profile that includes their language test scores, their Educational Credential Assessment (if they need one) and outlines their work experience. 

 

Based on their profiles, candidates will be ranked against others in a pool. On a regular basis, CIC will issue invite top candidates from the pool to apply for permanent residence. Only those who get an Invitation to Apply from CIC will be able to apply.

 

Under this new system, most complete applications will be processed in six months or less.

 

                                                            You must use Express Entry if you want to apply:

 

                                                               >   under the Federal Skilled Worker Program,

                                                               >   under the Federal Skilled Trades Program,

                                                               >   under the Canadian Experience Class, or

                                                               >   as a provincial nominee, in some cases.
