Determine The Appropriate Express Entry Program For You
Streams of Express Entry Program
In an interview, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Sean Fraser, stated that the country plans to revive the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Workers (FSW), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST) Express Entry programs in July. The candidates who had been waiting for the backlog to be cleared are relieved.
Express Entry handles applications for three different immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Canadian Experience Class
Federal Skilled Worker Program
This
program is intended for talented individuals with foreign work experience who
wish to migrate to Canada permanently.
Minimum requirements:
Skilled Work Experience
Skilled work experience entails having worked in one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) job groups:
- Managerial jobs (skill type 0)
- Professional jobs (skill level A)
- Technical jobs and skilled trades (skill level B)
You
must demonstrate that you performed the responsibilities outlined in the lead
statement of the occupational description in the NOC while working in your
principal occupation. This comprises all of the necessary responsibilities as
well as the majority of the key duties listed.
-your
job experience must be documented.
-working
in the same field (with the same NOC) as the employment you wish to use for
your immigration application (called your primary occupation).
-within
the previous ten years
-paid
employment (having been paid salary or commissions—volunteer labor or unpaid
internships do not qualify)
-1 year of continuous employment or 1,560 total hours (30 hours per week)
Language Ability
-you
must take certified English or French language tests for writing, reading,
listening, and speaking
-achieve
a minimum score of 7 on the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) in all four
abilities
-fill
out your Express Entry profile with the test results
Your language tests are valid for two years following the test result date. They must be current at the time you seek permanent residency.
Education
If you
went to school in Canada, you must have a Canadian certificate, diploma, or
degree from a secondary (high school) or post-secondary institution.
If you have studied abroad, you must have a completed credential, as well as an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from an authorized organization demonstrating that your education is equivalent to a completed certificate, diploma, or degree from a Canadian secondary (high school) or post-secondary institution.
Evidence of Funds
You
must demonstrate that you have enough money to support yourself and your family
in Canada unless you:
-are
presently able to work lawfully in Canada
-have a genuine work offer from a Canadian firm
Selection factor:
- age
- education
- work experience
- whether you have a valid job offer
- language skills (English and/or French)
- adaptability (how well you’re likely to settle here)
These
factors constitute a 100-point grid used to determine eligibility for the
Federal Skilled Worker Program. You gain points based on how well you perform
in each of the six areas.
If you
want to be considered for the Federal Skilled Worker stream, you must have a
minimum passing score of 67 points out of 100 on the Federal Skilled Worker
grid.
You are not guaranteed to get an Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence if you are accepted into the Express Entry pool. An Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence will be sent based on your Express Entry pool score and rank as determined by the Comprehensive Ranking System.
Federal Skilled Trades Program
The
FSTP is a skilled trade immigration pathway that is comparable to the FSWP.
The FSTP is a viable alternative for certain people because there is no
necessity to demonstrate educational levels. For this choice, you must have two
years of work experience in a skilled trade, a full-time employment offer from
a Canadian employer, or a certificate of qualification from a Canadian
authority.
The
following are the eligibility requirements:
·
Valid
job offers of continuous, paid, full-time employment in Canada from at least
two employers for at least one year, or a certificate of certification
indicating that a foreign person is competent to work in a skilled trade
vocation in Canada;
·
Proof
of fundamental language competency demonstrating that the candidate satisfies
the IRCC's minimal criterion (CLB 5 for speaking and listening, CLB 4 for
reading and writing);
· Two years of full-time work experience (or the equivalent in part-time employment) in the skilled trade in the five years preceding application; and Able to demonstrate skills and experience, as well as have completed the fundamental functions of the occupation.
Canadian Experience Class
The
Canadian Experience Class is designed for talented people who have worked in
Canada and desire to become permanent citizens.
Minimum requirements:
Job Experience
Must have earned work experience in Canada while on temporary residence status with work authorization.
You may have worked in one or more NOC 0, A, or B positions.
Education
The Canadian Experience Class has no educational requirements. If you went to school in Canada, you can earn points for a certificate, diploma, or degree from a Canadian secondary or post-secondary institution, as well as for overseas schooling. If you have completed a foreign credential, you can get points for it and an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from a designated organization proving that your education is equivalent to a completed certificate, diploma, or degree from a Canadian secondary institution (high school) or post-secondary institution for immigration purposes.
Language Abilities
You have to fulfill the required language levels for each language ability for your job which includes writing, reading, listening & speaking.
