In all provinces other than Quebec, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) may select economic skilled workers through the Express Entry Program. This can be done through one of four programs:
Federal Skilled Workers: Those who have worked in a skilled, managerial, executive role full-time, continuously, for a minimum of one year may qualify under this program. They must also have obtained at least 67 points from personal factors.
Canadian Experience Class: Those who have worked in Canada in a paid, full- time, skilled, managerial, executive role on a valid work permit may qualify under this category.
Federal Skilled Trades: Those who are work in trades, such as carpenters, electricians and plumbers, may qualify under this category.
Provincial Nomination Program: Each Province and/or Territory in Canada (minus Quebec) are given between 5,000 and 6,000 certificates that they can allocate to individual who meet their current needs and demands. Those selected by a province may qualify under this category based on their specific attributes like education and work experience.
