There are a lot of ways to get Canadian permanent resident status, however the most popular is Canada Immigration Express Entry Program that allows skilled workers to receive permanent resident status. Unlike other programs, to qualify you do not necessarily need a job offer or a sponsor. You just need to have minimum criteria to get the necessary cut-off score and voila, you are in Canada.
When we are talking about immigrants, Indian nationals have the highest success rate of receiving Canadian citizenship. In today’s article, we will tell you more about immigration possibilities for Indian citizens and moving to this magnificent country.
THE EXPRESS ENTRY PROGRAM
Are you a skilled worker who is looking for new opportunities or maybe you have already worked in Canada and now would like to move there? We have amazing news for you! The Express Entry Program is specially designed to meet everyone’s expectations. “How?” you might ask.
If you have all the necessary documents, you are above 36 years old with work experience in the industry, and a bachelor’s degree, the whole application process can be shortened even up to 6 months or less.
SO, WHAT IS THE EXPRESS ENTRY PROGRAM AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Express Entry Program is not an immigration program, but an electronic application management system that helps to manage applications from skilled workers who would like to receive Canadian permanent citizenship through such programs as:
- Federal Skilled Traders (FST) helps experienced tradesmen to move to Canada;
- Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) is perfect for any professionals and skilled workers;
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is ideal for those who have worked in Canada for at least one year before and now would like to immigrate permanently.
The Express Entry Program filters the applications based on Canada Express Entry points received in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) so that the candidates with the highest ranks can easily apply and get Canadian permanent residency faster.
HOW TO GET THE HIGHEST SCORE?
Everyone who is applying to Canada Express Entry Program should keep in mind the scores their application receives. Do you know why? Out of a maximum score of 1,200 points, you should get as many as possible to be successful in the Canada Express Entry draw. If you are selected, within 24 hours you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in your IRCC account. Easy, right? But how do these 1,200 points are divided into different criteria?
- a. If you are a single applicant, you can get up to 500 points for core human capital factors, like age, level of education, language ability, and Canadian work experience;
- b. However, if you are applying with a spouse maximum of 460 points go for core human capital factors of the main applicant and up to 40 points for the spouse;
