The Skilled Worker Visa is designed to allow immigrants to Canada as permanent residents without the prior requirement of a sponsor or employer.

Canada offers opportunities for Skilled Workers who wish to immigrate. Skilled Workers (i.e, qualified professionals as well as experienced tradespeople) and their families are invited to settle permanently in Canada if their immigration application is successful.

Canada is always looking to welcome Skilled Workers, and a wide variety of both Federal and the Provincial visa programs exist to facilitate their immigration. These include the Express Entry Program, Federal Skilled Worker Programs, as well as Provincial Nominee Programs. 

In-demand professions currently include those in the fields of banking, insurance and finance, all aspects of engineering, elementary, high school teachers and lecturers in higher education, medical doctors, nurses and other health care workers, business people including sales and marketing professionals as well as a whole host of tradespeople, and many more. Your personal immigration account manager will assist and guide you toward the visa program best suited to your professional skill and your desired destination in Canada.

Express Entry is the fast-track system introduced to enable prospective immigrants with a specific skill or experience to complete the immigration process in about six months through the Federal Economic Programs.

The Express Entry is the most pursued pathway for Canadian Visa application.

This is the new fast-track system introduced by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) agency in January 2015. The aim is to allow potential immigrants with needed skills and backgrounds to complete the immigration process in the shortest possible time.

The process may look impossible to achieve but we have 'been there and done this' hundreds of times. We promise to provide the highest professional expertise and our years of experience to ensure that this complex process will be as simple as possible for you and your family.

Your personal immigration account managers will be with you every step of the way to make sure that everything that can help maximize your point score will be taken into account – giving you the best opportunity to realize your Canadian dream.

How it Works

Express Entry is a multi-factored 'pool and points' system that the IRCC uses to select the most suitable candidates for immigration to Canada.

Applications are measured according to a whole range of personal information that is required to be provided. This builds your 'Applicant's Profile'.

To build this profile you will be asked about your: 

• educational and/or professional qualifications as well as those of your spouse/partner if relevant.
• work experience.
• language abilities.
• age.
• family situation.

If nominated, you will be asked whether you already have a specific job offer in Canada from a qualifying employer, as well as other factors.

Based on your answers, the system awards points according to what is called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and your total score will be calculated. The score is calculated out of a possible maximum of 1200.

Canada's immigration authorities then select the most suitable candidates from the pool and offers them an official 'Invitation to Apply' (ITA) for one of those immigration programs. The higher your score the better your chances of being selected.

Once you receive an ITA, you have a maximum 90-day period during which to submit the full online application for permanent residence.

The Canadian government through Citizenship and Immigration Canada is committed to processing complete applications within 6 months of submission. Candidates can remain in the Express Entry pool for up to 12 months and if they do not receive an invitation within this period, may submit a new profile.

Programs covered by Express Entry

Express Entry is applicable for the following groups of applicants:

• Federal Skilled Worker Class which includes doctors and engineers etc.
• Federal Skilled Trades Class designed for welders and plumbers etc.
• Canadian Experience Class, for people who have already lived, worked or studied in Canada.
• Provincial Nominee Programs – these are run by some but not all Provinces.

Once you register with us your personal immigration account manager will answer all your questions regarding the Express Entry option and/or all the other Canadian Visa options and begin to guide you towards an exciting new life in Canada.

Bear in mind that not all jobs are open to Working Holiday Visa holders, particularly those which require specific certification such as education, health and others.

Your personal application account manager will guide you through all the requirements of eligibility.

Student Visas is a great way for international students to enroll in a Canadian institute of higher education with the option of applying for permanent residence after graduation.

Each year Canada issues more than 130,000 Student Visas for foreign nationals to study at its globally recognised centres of higher education.

In a recent study by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, out of 1,000 universities Canada had 5 universities ranked in the top 100, 10 in the top 250, and 19 in the top 500. 

According to the International Student Survey conducted by the Canadian Bureau for International Education, over 90% of those in higher education were satisfied or very satisfied with their studies in Canada, and 95% would recommend Canada as a place to study.

If you wish to join them, we can help you apply for a Visa that allows international students to stay in Canada while pursuing a specific course or program at an approved institute of higher education.

Upon graduating, international students may apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program.

Eligibility

To be eligible, foreign students wishing to study in Canada need to meet the following criteria:

• be accepted to study at an approved Canadian institution.
• prove that they have sufficient funds to pay for tuition fees, living expenses, and return transport after the completion of their study program.

• be in good health and willing to undertake a medical examination should that be deemed necessary.
• satisfy immigration authorities that they will indeed leave Canada upon completion of the study program and their authorized stay.

In some cases, a Student Visa is not required. This applies when the course program lasts less than two months, if you belong to the staff of a foreign representative to Canada or a family member of and if you are a member of a foreign armed force.
