Free Assessment

Express Entry

Express entry to Canada is a completely electronic process where an applicant is assessed based on their skills, age, education, language ability, work experience and other factors. A score will be awarded using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS),which is a point-based system that determines eligibility.
Applications for this stream must be made through the express entry profile system on the Citizen and Immigration Canada (CIC) online portal. Having a Canadian job offer will give you more points, thereby increasing your chance of receiving an invitation to apply. If you do not have a job offer or a provincial nomination, you must create a Job Bank profile after the creation of an express entry profile. We can help in assisting you in getting a job offer or PNP, simply fill out our free online assessment.

Express entry is based off three main streams:

  • The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW)
  • The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST)
  • The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Skilled Workers

This category consists of people who have one year of continuous full-time work experience in a NOC 0, A or B occupation. Work experience over the last 10 years is considered valid.
You must have achieved a CLB 7 in all four language requirements for either English or French. If you do not have a Canadian education, you must acquire an Educational Credential Assessment.
Skilled workers must also pass their own point-based selection criteria, where a minimum of 67 points is required for the application to be processed further. These criteria are similar to those found in an express entry profile.
If a valid job offer is not present, proof of settlement funds is required for you and all accompanying family members.

Skilled Trades

The trades represent a group of technical occupations where the current eligible group consists of:

  • Industrial, electrical and construction.
  • Maintenance and equipment operations
  • Technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture and related production
  • Processing, manufacturing and utiliies supervisors and control operators
  • Chefs, cooks, butchers and bakers

To be eligible for the Skilled Trades program, applicants must have:

  • 2 years of fulltime experience within the last 5 years
  • CLB 5 in speaking and listening and CLB 4 in reading and writing

This program is a perfect for international students who have obtained a post-graduate work permit and have worked for at least one year within the past three years. They can use their Canadian work experience in a NOC 0, A or B occupation to apply for this program.
NOC 0 or A requires a language ability of CLB 7. NOC B requires a CLB 5.
