All You Need to Know about New Express Entry System for PR for Trained Workers

The ‘Maple Leaf country’ has almost everything that a person requires to raise a family in the best possible manner. From world-class educational institutions to excellent healthcare system, from amazing infrastructure to friendly people, the country is one of the rare nations that grant un-biased rights to its immigrants. In fact, the ‘Land of Opportunities’ treats them as a national asset and not a national burden and gives them a red carpet welcome feeling them at home and highly valuable.

The ‘Land of Milk and Honey’ is a haven, especially for skilled workers who very often move, rightfully so, to foreign shores in search of better livelihood opportunities. A large number of qualified manpower aspires to live and work in Canada and dream of acquiring the status of Permanent Residents straight away.

The ‘Maple Leaf Country’ has always valued skilled workers, and therefore the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the concerned visa and immigration body, has, as it is too well known by now, introduced Express Entry System that grants the prized and the much sought after PR to the potential trained workers straight away.

If you are a trained skilled worker and have a bitter experience in moving to the shores of the beautiful country, then you will be rather delighted to know that the path to your dream destination has become smooth all thanks to—well, you guessed it right–the Express Entry System.

New Express Entry system (PR) for trained workers

What is Permanent Residence?

It is a cherished status even as it allows you to live and work in Canada indefinitely but with certain restrictions. However, you continue to remain the citizen of your native country. Though you do not have the Canadian passport, you can avail many of the social benefits that usually greet the citizens.

What is Express Entry system?

It is a path breaking and highly useful electronic system that duly manages the applications of the applicants who wish to immigrate to Canada under the following economic programmes:
  • Federal Skilled Worker Programme (FSWP)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Programme (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
Express Entry is basically a point based system and developed on a similar model first introduced in New Zealand only to be later adopted by Australia (SkillSelect). It is especially designed to attract trained workers with the ability to feel comfortable in foreign environment and join the thriving Canadian workforce at once, without any delays whatsoever. Candidates with high points are likely to be issued an ‘Invitation to Apply’ and will have 60 days to claim the much desired and appealing PR status.

Does a skilled worker need to have a job offer or a provincial or territorial nomination?

No, they do need not to have a job or a territorial or provincial nomination. But, having one will ultimately give them an added value, and they are likely to score 600 extra points making them a strong contender for the ‘Invitation to Apply’.

What is the aim of the Express Entry system?

The main aim of the Express Entry System is to successfully meet the growing demand of the local labor market throughout the country, except the province of Quebec. As per the records, the CIC is expecting nearly 285,000 new skilled workers in 2015 alone out of the total number nearly 65% will immigrate as Permanent Residents, via Express Entry.

Express Entry system is one of its own kinds systems. As per some observers on the issue, it is the fastest and the most reliable and transparent system ever developed for trained labor force. The latest news coming from the realms of Express Entry is that only a week back seventh draw has taken place and 925 applicants have successfully received an ‘Invitation to Apply’.
