Express Entry Programs

Express Entry is an online system that is used to manage applications for Permanent Residence for three different programs. It is the fastest and most popular pathway for newcomers seeking a new life in Canada.  Click on each option below to learn details about each specific Express Entry Program. Our experienced consultants at WISA can guide you through the process of selecting the right program for you.

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) was developed as a part of Canada’s immigration strategy, wherein permanent residents are selected based on their ability to become economically established in Canada.

The Express Entry program also allows individual provinces and territories to use the system in order to recruit suitable candidates as part of the Provincial Nominee Programs so that labour market demands are met.

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is for people who are qualified and willing to take up skilled trade jobs in Canada. Applicants skilled in trades can migrate through this program.

The Canadian Experience Class is for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and want to become permanent residents. There are advantages for people within this class as they have built up at least one year of Canadian work experience which gives them additional points in the CRS ranking. Temporary foreign workers and/or foreign students who graduated in Canada can often make the successful transition to permanent residence.
