Express Entry System - January 2015

Starting January 2015, Canada is implementing a new application management process for economic immigration programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program
• Federal Skilled Trades Program
• Canadian Experience Class
• Provincial Nominee Program

This change will be beneficial both for the employers (more recruitment possibilities) and prospective skilled immigrants (more opportunities).

The Express Entry System will be a 2 Step process:

1. Fill out an Express Entry Profile

• Potential candidates will submit an online Express Entry profile.
• They will be assessed according to a skills based ranking system that looks at: Language proficiency, Education, Canadian work experience and Other factors that lead to success in Canada
• At this stage, skills will be self-declared based on appropriate test results.
• Candidates who meet the criteria of one of the federal economic immigration programs subject to Express Entry will be placed in the Express Entry pool.
• Candidates will need to promote themselves:
  • Registration with Job Bank will be required
  • They will be encouraged to signal their presence in the Express Entry pool to recruiters, on private sector job boards  etc.

2. Invitation to Apply (ITA)

• Applicants will receive an Invitation to Apply either through a job offer from Canadian Employer or Nomination from Provinces/Territories
• Candidates with an ITA will have 60 days to apply for permanent residence through one of four existing economic immigration programs:
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
• Applicants will need to meet the criteria set out in the immigration program which applies to them
