• Canadian Experience Class candidates have built up at least one year of Canadian work experience. This is a highly-valued factor under the CRS, and, as such, gives these applicants access to CRS points for their Canadian experience.
• Because the required documentation is minimal, Canadian Experience Class applications are processed quickly, often within three to four months.
• Applicants under the Canadian Experience Class are not required to show proof of settlement funds, as FSWC and FSTC candidates are

Advantages of this visa stream

•  IRCC has previously conducted program-specific draws for Federal Skilled Trades candidates only, with a CRS cut-off threshold far below what other candidates have needed in order to be invited to apply. This first happened on May 26, 2017 when Federal Skilled Trades candidates with 199 or more CRS points were invited to apply, and then again on November 1, 2017 when the threshold was set at 241 CRS points for federal skilled trades candidates. In contrast, the lowest ever threshold for FSWC and CEC candidates is 413
• One way of being eligible as a tradesperson is to get a valid job offer in your trade from a Canadian employer. As well as helping you to become eligible, you may then also receive additional CRS points for the job offer. This will increase your chances of being invited to apply
• The language ability criteria to enter the Express Entry pool is set lower for Federal Skilled Trades candidates than it is for FSWC and CEC candidates

Overview

Under Provincial Nominee Programs, provinces and territories in Canada can nominate individuals and families who wish to settle in their province or territory based on criteria set by the province.

Each province and territory determines their own eligibility criteria for Provincial Nominee Programs. For example, one province might prioritize bringing in provincial nominees with experience in a certain occupation, while another province might prioritize bringing in provincial nominees with French-language experience. It depends on the needs of each specific province and territory.

In order to become a provincial nominee, applicants must show that they meet the set criteria. This will show that the applicant has the skills, education, and work experience to be able to make a positive contribution to the local economy and society. The province or territory will consider the application based on the needs of the specific province, as well as the applicant’s genuine intention to settle there.

Within each PNP, there are multiple sub-programs and categories, usually known as “streams”.

List of PNPs

• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
• British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP)
