Express Entry is an electronic application management system that has been in place since January 1,2015 and replaces the former first-come, first-served system of application processing for permanent residence applications. There is a mandatory requirement to apply through EE for foreign nationals who wish to apply for permanent residence as skilled workers in one of the following sub-classes:
Foreign nationals who apply for permanent residence in the FSW class are assessed according to the number of eligibility criteria, which includes education, language, experience, age, and other qualifications needed to contribute to the Canadian labour market. These criteria may seem similar to the criteria in the pre-application phase under EE, but the points are assessed by a visa officer and awarded for specific factors as set out in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations in sections 78 to 83.
The FST is a prescribed class for applicants who may become permanent residents on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada as workers in a Skilled Trade Occupation defined under IRPR, section 87.2 as:
An occupation, unless the occupation has been designated a restricted occupation by the Minister, in the following categories listed Skill level B of the National Occupation Classification matrix:
The CEC was created in 2008 to allow graduates from post-secondary institutions and temporary workers with Canadian experience to transition to permanent status. The CEC is another prescribed class of people who are selected on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada. Basically, it is through their Canadian work experience that they may qualify for permanent residence. International students who are graduates of Canadian post-secondary institutions and who possess professional, managerial, or skilled Canadian work experience may apply for permanent residency through this program.
A province or territory that wishes to conduct its own recruitment and selection of foreign nationals must first have an agreement in place with the federal government. The minister is authorized by section 8 of the IRPA to enter into such agreements with the provinces and territories. It is through bilateral agreements that a Provincial Nominee Program may be established in a province or territory, but the responsibilities for immigration are shared between the two levels of government.
Provinces or territories set their own selection criteria and guidelines for selecting qualified applicants who, if issued a certificate of nomination, must apply for permanent residence through IRCC and undergo an inadmissibility assessment by a visa officer who has the final decision on the application.
