Skilled foreign workers who meet the eligibility requirements for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program may be able to enter the Express Entry “pool” of candidates and, if they meet all of the criteria, have the opportunity to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a Permanent Resident (PR) Visa to Canada.
Individuals who receive a provincial nomination through a Provincial Nominees Program (PNP) may also be able to immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry system.
