About Express Entry Canada
Canada Express Entry EE is a fast-track immigration program launched by the Canadian federal government, which aims to give priority to inviting applicants who meet the requirements to come to Canada to work and settle. The application process of the program is simple, transparent, efficient and fast, attracting the favor of many applicants from all over the world.
It contains four categories, namely: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Immigration (FST), and a part of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
Express Entry (EE) ranks applicants based on points. Eligible individuals who exceed their invitation points receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence. After you apply, an immigration officer will review the application and decide whether to approve it. Once completed and approved, the candidate is a permanent resident of Canada.
For the Canadian Express Entry EE, the Canadian official website now only lists all occupation names, but it does not mean that every invitation will include all occupations. However, it can be seen that the requirements for working years and experience are not high. If you can work harder on the language, the probability of being approved is still very high!
Canada is located at the northernmost tip of North America and is known as the "Maple Leaf Country". It is a highly developed capitalist country, and its education, medical care, and social welfare are among the best in the world.
