The Federal Skilled Worker Program is one of Canada’s primary economic immigration programs. Established to select skilled workers who can integrate successfully into the Canadian labor market, the FSWP assesses candidates based on their ability to contribute economically. Since its inception, the program has undergone various changes to better align with Canada’s evolving economic needs.

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is a Canadian immigration program designed to attract skilled tradespeople from around the world to fill labor shortages in Canada. It is part of the Express Entry system, which manages applications for economic immigration programs. The FSTP specifically targets individuals with qualifications and experience in skilled trades.

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is another key immigration program under the Express Entry system. It is tailored for individuals who have already gained skilled work experience in Canada and wish to transition to permanent residence. The CEC is particularly popular among international students and temporary foreign workers.

The Provincial Nominee Program allows provinces and territories in Canada to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and are interested in settling in a specific province. PNP is a critical part of Express Entry as it provides an additional 600 CRS points to nominated candidates, significantly boosting their chances of receiving an ITA.
