Potential applicants with work experience in any skilled occupation may be invited to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence through Canada’s Express Entry System. Experience in a specific line of work can be an advantage at the provincial level.
Canada offers federal and provincial economic immigration pathways each having its own unique work experience criteria. The Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trade Class, and Canadian Experience Class are three of Canada's main federal pathways to permanent residence. The Express Entry's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) determines a candidate’s position in the pool that considers only full-time, or equivalent part-time, work experience and ‘skilled occupation’.
Eligible occupations are those that are rated as skill type 0 (managerial), skill level A (professional) or skill level B (technical) under Canada National Occupational Classification (NOC).
The provinces require work experience in a specific occupation by a number of provincial nominees streams some of which are also linked to the Express Entry system. The streams allow participating provinces and territories to nominate overseas workers having required work experience for Canadian permanent residence.
The express entry applicants with successful provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 points towards their CRS score effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply for Canada Permanent residence.
These lists are based on current labour market needs and opportunities in the respective province and below mentioned are some popular examples of provincial nominee streams that required specified work experience:
The professions targeted in these lists may vary but some of the popular occupations that are mostly targeted are:
Tech Occupations:
British Columbia’s dedicated Tech Pilot is an example of the growing prioritization of tech-related occupations in Canada. The tech pilot stream offers 29 in-demand tech occupations that require skilled workers to fill the labour shortages.
Also, Ontario recently announced that it will create a dedicated immigration stream for tech workers but no details have been released for its criteria and specific occupation that will be targeted.
Canadian Provinces also conducted Occupation-Specific draws:
There were many provinces that conducted occupation-specific draws.
Nova Scotia Express Entry linked Labour Market Priorities stream allows the province to search the Express Entry pool for candidates with the required work experience. Since its inception, Nova Scotia has targeted draws for early childhood educators and assistants and financial auditors and accountants.
The province also accepted profiles having experience in specific occupations through it's Express Entry Labour Market Stream under Nova Scotia Nominee Program.
New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program has also employed a list of specified occupations that targeted a range of tech-related positions among other professions.
Therefore, Provincial Nominee Programs allow skilled and qualified workers to settle in the particular province for an indefinite period of time to contribute towards their growing economy. Every province has its own unique programs. Contact our immigration experts to know which province suits you the best by filling the Canada Immigration Assessment form.
This is in regard to my journey with Aptechvisa Services. I have experienced here were so far better and I already recommended my multiple friends to them because I can trust their words. I got Aptech visa reference through one of my best friend and today I am in Canada and this all happened just because of Aptech visa.
This is a time to appreciate the performance of Aptech visa. True, Genuine, professional and what not, this is the immigration consultancy to whom we can trust blindly. Due to my age factor I did not score well but more than 400 and this made myself eligible for Ontario and my consultant worked hard in my profile and made it true.
Hope you all are reading my message with Great Spirit. I would rate Aptech 10 out of 10. In between of my application, I have faced a lot of issues in arranging documents but everything went well and there was a continuous support of Aptech which motivated me everything and today I am in Canada, Ontario. Thank you Aptech
Aptech is the best immigration consultant and the staff is of very friendly nature. Since I was there in US, so it was very difficult for me to coordinate with them but they always answered my queries very promptly and meantime, my father was there every time to support me. With the help of Aptech and my father, we got our PR visa for Canada. I am feeling so lucky to be associated with Aptech.
Here we would like to Thank you Aptech visa for all the assistance and help which we have received in our Canada PR visa application throughout the process. They helped me a lot in every manner and it would be an honor if I would say something good about Aptech visa. You guys are really hard working.
Mine was the wonderful journey with Aptech throughout the process. I enjoyed working with them and I would really recommend Aptech to all of you. I have also given a lot of references and in future also will try to refer Aptech to all my known and relatives.
My son has applied for PR visa through Aptech and then he decided to apply for my tourist visa from Aptech only and you can’t believe that I got my visa within 24 hours after applying for the online application. I would really appreciate the work out done by Aptech Global in our applications. Keep working hard guys.
Due to some corrections in my passport, it took more time for me to get the visa but Aptech handled all the things very precisely and smartly. They keep on coordinating with High Commission for my application and did all the conversation on time. Thank you for supporting me.
