What is the Express Entry?
The program was launched in January 2015 to help people apply for Canadian permanent residence, under three categories:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP);
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP); and
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs
The Federal Skilled Worker Program is for highly-skilled foreign workers, usually with university degrees, diplomas, or certificates, with at least one year of experience (outside Canada) and work in professions such as management, medical, or tech jobs.
Skilled Trades Program is for qualified trades workers and journeymen under one of the following-
- industrial, electrical and construction trades; ex: Carpenter
- maintenance and equipment operation trades
- supervisors and technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture, and related production
- processing, manufacturing and utility supervisors and central control operators
- chefs and cooks
- butchers and bakers
The Canada Experience Class, on the other hand, is for highly-skilled foreign workers with previous Canadian work experience.
Provincial Nominee Programs is something else but there is some part of it called for the express entry class. Ex:
