Last week Canada announced its new policy to allow workers from 16 new occupations to come to the country to meet its labour shortage. All these occupations are included in the list of ‘Express Entry’ to Canada where workers from these categories stand to gain, that is, to obtain permanent residency.
What is the ‘Express Entry’ process and how workers of these new occupations can use it to get into Canada?
Experts say that the ‘Express entry’ system was always there in Canada since 2015, but it got almost stalled during the Covid pandemic. Now, Canada has expanded by including 16 new occupations under its ambit.
Earlier these occupations were not included in the EE which deals in various programmes, including Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trade, Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) and others, says Gurpreet Singh, who has been running a Canadian immigration consultancy for over a decade.
Under the ‘Express Entry’ system the applicant has to apply online in his/her respective field and has to declare information about him/her. Then Canadian authorities select the applicants through a draw and send the Invitation to Apply (ITA) to the selected applicants on the online account who then has to apply through by filing a detailed and complete application for permanent residency in which he/she has to submit all the documentary proofs which he/she had declared in the online application, including the English proficiency test clearance proof, work experience certificate, police report, blood relations (if any) and other required documents like educational credentials, etc., adds Gurpreet Singh.
