Express Entry: Your Gateway to Permanent Residency in Canada
Aeropath Immigration offers comprehensive guidance on Canada’s Express Entry system, a primary pathway for skilled workers seeking permanent residency. This system manages applications for three key federal economic immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Key Features of Express Entry
- Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS): Candidates are evaluated based on factors like age, education, language proficiency, and Canadian work experience.
- Invitation to Apply (ITA): Top-ranking candidates receive ITAs during periodic draws.
- Processing Time: Most applications are processed within six months.
Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Specifics
The CEC is tailored for individuals with Canadian work experience. Eligibility criteria include:
- Work Experience: At least one year of skilled work in Canada within the last three years.
- Language Proficiency: Minimum CLB 7 for TEER 0 or 1 occupations; CLB 5 for TEER 2 or 3 occupations.
- Legal Employment: Experience must be gained through authorized work.
Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program – Canada Immigration
The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program is one of Canada’s main immigration streams under the Express Entry system, designed for individuals with the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to Canada’s economy.
To qualify, applicants are assessed on a points-based system considering factors such as:
- Age
- Education
- Work Experience
- Language Proficiency (English and/or French)
- Adaptability
- Arranged Employment in Canada (if applicable)
A minimum score of 67 out of 100 points is required to be eligible under the FSW category. Once eligible, candidates must enter the Express Entry pool, where they receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. Top-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence.
Federal Skilled Trades (FST) Program – Canada Immigration
The Federal Skilled Trades (FST) Program is a specialized immigration stream under Canada’s Express Entry system, designed for qualified tradespeople who want to become permanent residents of Canada.
This program targets skilled workers in specific occupations such as:
- Industrial, electrical, and construction trades
- Maintenance and equipment operation
- Chefs and cooks
- Butchers and bakers
- Agriculture and natural resources-related trades
Basic Eligibility Requirements:
- At least 2 years of full-time work experience (or equivalent part-time) in a skilled trade within the last 5 years
- A valid job offer in Canada for at least one year or a certificate of qualification in the trade issued by a Canadian province or territory
- Basic language skills in English or French (CLB 5 for speaking/listening, CLB 4 for reading/writing)
- Must plan to live outside the province of Quebec
Unlike the Federal Skilled Worker Program, there is no formal education requirement, though having one can boost your CRS score in the Express Entry pool.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
