Canada consistently seeks skilled immigrants who can contribute to the country's economic growth. To relocate to Canada as a skilled worker, individuals must apply for a Canada PR Visa via the Express Entry program. This program is a prominent avenue for obtaining permanent residency at an accelerated pace. Express Entry oversees the profiles of immigrants applying under three federal immigration programs, namely the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
The Canadian immigration system for Federal Skilled Workers follows a points-based approach known as the "67 Points Immigration Canada" system. To be eligible to apply for a PR Visa through the Express Entry program, you must achieve a minimum score of 67 out of 100. Once you have attained this score and fulfilled the following minimum requirements, you can proceed to create a profile in the Express Entry program:
For Language Skills, you must attain a minimum level of CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) level 7 in all four abilities (speaking, reading, writing, and listening) for one official language. In the case of the English language, you are required to achieve a score of at least 6 in each band of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam.
Regarding Work Experience, you should have a minimum of one year of relevant work experience within the past 10 years. This work experience must be in a field that falls under NOC (National Occupation Classification) skill type 0, A, or B.
In terms of Proof of Funds, you must provide evidence of sufficient settlement funds to demonstrate your ability to support yourself and any accompanying family members during your relocation to Canada.
