Build Your Future in Canada with an LMIA-Supported Work Permit

Start your Canadian journey with a valid job offer and take the first step toward long-term opportunities.

Express Entry is a streamlined immigration pathway designed for skilled workers who wish to live and work in Canada permanently.
This fast and efficient, points-based system ranks candidates using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), considering factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills.

The Express Entry system manages applications under three key programs:

  1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

  2. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

  3. Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
