Canada offers a large number of job opportunities to international skilled workers due to a shortage of skilled workers in certain professions. If you are a skilled worker looking to make your way to Canada, there are pathways available to you.
One important thing to note is that Canadian express entry applications are invitation-based. This means that you will need to participate in a survey where you will answer various questions. Your answers will be recorded, and based on your information, if you are eligible to work in Canada, you will receive an invitation to apply for Canadian citizenship via the express entry route.
Navigating the Canadian employment-based immigration route can be quite complicated. There are multiple immigration programs available, each with different requirements. In this article, we will provide complete information on how to check your eligibility for the express entry and the application process for registering your profile in the Canadian express entry pool.
There are three job-based Canadian immigration programs under the umbrella of Canadian express entry: the federal skilled trades program, federal skilled worker program, and experience class program for Canada. Each of these programs has different requirements, but there is a way to find your suitability for any of these programs by taking a short survey that will ask you some questions to determine the best fit based on your qualifications, preference, nationality, education, skills, and age.
The eligibility checker for Canadian express entry program will require you to provide details on the Canadian province you want to move to, your English/French language proficiency, your previous work experience in Canada as a skilled worker, your skilled work experience classified according to the national occupation classification, the money you plan on bringing to Canada, whether you have a job offer in Canada or want to get listed in the express entry pool, your age, educational background information, marital status, and details about your spouse’s education and work experience in Canada.
Once you have inputted all your information into the eligibility checker system for the express entry program, you may receive an invitation via email to submit your express entry profile if you are eligible. You will also be required to upload scanned copies of documents such as a job offer letter from an approved Canadian employer, your passport, language proficiency test results, provincial nomination, financial records, police-issued character certificate, health fitness certificate, etc. These documents will be submitted in the express entry application portal, and your profile will then be placed in a pool where your standings will receive points according to the comprehensive ranking system.
If you receive the maximum CRS points, your express entry profile will improve its ranking, increasing your chance of being selected for Canadian residency to work as a skilled worker in Canada.
