Federal programs (selection is conducted through Express Entry - an online system for selecting candidates by the highest number of points)
Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) - for skilled workers;
Canadian Experience Class (CEC) - for those who already have experience in Canada (graduates of universities, specialists with work visas);
Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP) - for working specialties.
Anyone who meets the criteria can apply online through Express Entry to become a permanent resident of Canada through the FSWP, CEC or FSTP. Each candidate will be assigned a certain score (maximum score 1200) for their education, work experience, age, English/French language skills and other personal data, after which the score will be compared with the scores of other candidates in accordance with the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) .
Every 2 weeks, candidates with the highest CRS score are invited to apply for Canadian residency. From this moment, it can take up to 6 months to obtain resident status.
Those who were not selected should not be upset. After all, they can improve their score, for example, by re-passing a language test and getting higher grades, receiving additional work experience or an offer from the province through the Provincial Nominee Program (and this is an additional 600 points).
I believe that immigration consultant Edmonton can help you increase your knowledge in this area.
