The Canadian government places a great emphasis on the importance of professionals and skilled workers in driving its economy, as evidenced by the various programs available to them, including the Federal Skilled programs.
It’s important to note that over 80% of immigrants to Canada come in search of skilled jobs, making these programs particularly relevant. The government has organized programs to help skilled professionals immigrate to Canada, including the Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP).
The Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP)
This program is designed to assist skilled traders who have work experience and a job in securing permanent residency in Canada. Additionally, the Express Entry Profile is a requirement for this process.
Canada Experience Class ( CEC)
The program is specifically designed for applicants who meet the eligibility requirements of the Express Entry system. It provides an opportunity for skilled professionals who have worked in Canada for at least a year to become permanent residents of Canada.
QUEBEC skilled workers program
The Quebec Skilled Workers Program targets individuals who desire to work and live in the Quebec province. It differs from other immigration programs as it requires the submission of an Expression Of Interest (EOI) before being accepted into the Arima portal.
Your profile is then evaluated based on a score out of 100, and success in this evaluation process leads to the issuance of a Quebec Selection Certificate. This certificate increases your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency, in line with federal government policy.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
It’s worth noting that Canadian provinces lack the power to grant permanent residency to foreign nationals. However, the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) nomination system can increase your chances of receiving permanent residency.
