- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For individuals with work experience and skills.
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For those with Canadian work experience.
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): For skilled tradespeople.
Eligibility-Applicants must meet language, education, and work experience requirements.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
The PNP allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals based on local labor market needs. There are two main streams,
- Enhanced Streams- Linked to Express Entry and offer additional CRS points.
- Base Streams- Not linked to Express Entry, requiring a separate application.
Eligibility- Ideal for those with skills matching a specific province's needs.
