Which Express Entry stream is right for you?

The three federal programs focus on different backgrounds of professionals, Canadian workers, and skilled trades.

Federal Skilled Worker

Best suited for professionals who built their careers outside Canada and want to immigrate directly from abroad. This path rewards education, skilled experience, and strong language results. It’s ideal for applicants who are well established in their field and want to transition permanently to Canada.

Canadian Experience Class

Designed for those who already live in Canada students finishing programs or workers with local experience. It values Canadian employment, education, and adaptability, often leading to faster invitations for permanent residence.

Federal Skilled Trades

Created for experienced tradespeople in construction, maintenance, manufacturing, and other technical roles. It focuses less on academic background and more on hands-on experience and certifications that meet Canadian standards.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a job offer to qualify?

No. A valid job offer can increase your CRS, but many applicants qualify and receive ITAs without one.

Which language tests are accepted?

Common options include IELTS or CELPIP for English and TEF/TCF for French. Scores must be valid when you submit e-APR.

Do I need an ECA?

Education obtained outside Canada generally needs an Educational Credential Assessment to count for CRS points.

How can I increase my CRS?

Language re-takes, ECA updates, additional education, spouse points, provincial nomination, or a valid job offer can boost scores.

What is proof of funds?

Financial savings that meet the minimum required for your family size (unless exempt). Funds must be available and unencumbered.

How long does Express Entry take?

Timelines vary by stream, draw patterns, and file completeness. We set expectations and structure your file to reduce avoidable delays.
