The points-based system for professional workers. Includes the Federal Skilled Worker Program. Focuses on age, education, work experience, and language skills.
For those who have a job offer and a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer. Requires a specific employer sponsor.
Register with 'Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada' (IRCC) and enter the relevant pool (IEC or Express Entry).
Wait for a round of invitations. If your profile is selected, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Submit your complete application with all supporting documents, biometrics, and fees within the specified timeframe (usually 20 days for IEC).
