How can foreign workers migrate to Canada?

Canada offers several immigration pathways for foreign workers willing to migrate and settle in Canada. A valid job offer in Canada makes Canadian immigration even more streamlined. The following are some of the most common pathways to migrate to Canada as a foreign worker:

 

• Express Entry System: The Canadian Express Entry system is one of the most straightforward and most accessible immigration pathways specially designed to welcome skilled immigrants to the country. Depending on the type of job role you are associated with, you would be eligible to apply for one of the following programs managed under the Express Entry system:
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program: This program is for skilled professionals with job roles listed under NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3.
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program: for skilled and experienced tradespeople meeting other eligibility requirements.
  • Canadian Experience Class: for professionals having work experience in Canada.
• Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Foreign workers willing to migrate and work in specific Canadian provinces can consider the Canada PNP, through which Canadian provinces nominate foreign workers according to their labor market needs.

 

All these pathways mentioned above enable foreign workers to obtain Canada PR.
