Express Immigration Visas
Federal Skilled Worker Program
Express Entry is a new system that manages applications for permanent residency under three federal economic immigration programs including:
- The Federal Skilled Worker Program
- The Federal Skilled Trades Program
- The Canadian Experience Class
Provinces are also able to recruit from the federal pool by using their provincial nomination programs. This is designed to meet the labour market needs on a provincial level.
The Express Entry Pool is the first stage for any skilled immigrant who wants to immigrate to Canada. After first becoming a member of the Express Entry Pool, you are then assessed based on different criteria such as: skills and experience; education; spousal or common law relationship among others. Each candidate will be assessed and ranked, and ultimately, the highest ranking scores will be chosen and invited to apply for permanent residency and immigrate to Canada. The scoring system is based on the Comprehensive Ranking System, which gives each candidate a score out of 1,200. The points received come from the four areas as listed above (a detailed breakdown of the Ranking System and your eligibility will be explained and made available to you during your consultation period which can be conducted either by visiting our office in Port Coquitlam or via Video Skype). Each candidate will be determined to be eligible if they can meet the requirements for one of three federal economic programs, as well as if they have created a job match account with “Job Bank”. The employers check job bank to look for workers with particular skills and then match prospective applicants with those jobs.

Provincial Nominee Program
In Canada, provinces have the ability to choose and nominate applicants for immigration according to the provincial economic and labour market needs. Each province sets it’s own immigration selection criteria. Most of provincial programs mirror federal immigration classes, such as skilled workers and international graduates, family and business class, although providing more flexible and faster alternative to immigrate.
