Shortly before the pandemic hit Canada, the Minister of immigration announced Canada’s immigration plan and reiterated the pledge to welcome over one million immigrants by 2021. In February 2020, we saw the biggest Express Entry draw ever when Canada invited 4900 applicants to apply for permanent residence in Canada in a single draw. Then there came the pandemic and borders were closed. Surprisingly, the Canadian immigration department continued to select immigrants from it’s online Express Entry pool, albeit with a slightly modified strategy whereby they shifted their focus toward provincial nominee and Canada Experience class candidates. This was considered a smart move as most of the applicants under the provincial nominee and Canada Experience Class are believed to be already residing in Canada and do not require to enter the country from overseas. This strategy ensured that Canada continue to get the very vital supply of qualified immigrants and help it achieve its goal welcoming ...

It is a common question these days asked by the aspirants who wish to make Canada their home: "My occupation is not in included in the list of "in-demand occupations" (also termed as the "priority occupation list"). What are my options if I was to immigrate to Canada?" For a highly qualified individual, it is sometimes difficult to realize that their application is not eligible for processing. Some of them are not very happy to learn that they do not qualify to immigrate to Canada. It is understandably difficult for them to realize that they are no eligible just because they do not meet one of the mandatory requirement  introduced by the Canadian government in recent times. That is to have at least one year of full time, paid and continous work experience in one of the occupations listed in the "priority occupation" list. As per the current requirements for Federal Skilled Worker Class of Canada's Immigration Program, one must have at ...

With only 29 occupations allowed for processing and restriction of just 500 applications from all over the world every year, it is extremely difficult these days to get into the processing queue of the so-called Fast Track of Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Program. However, if you do manage to squeeze in, you can consider yourself to be very lucky. While the competition is tough considering the limited quota, time could not be better than now to apply to come to Canada as a skilled worker in terms of processing speed. Should you make it to the processing queue you can expect to be issued the permanent residence visa within 12 months assuming you meet the rest of the requirements. This in comparison to the cases filed earlier is super fast. With processing time ranging from 7 years to 3 years for previously files cases, the priority being accorded to the new applications can truly be termed as "Fast Track".
