Canada Express Entry Eligibility and Requirements For Canada PR Visa

In this article, we are going to discuss the  Canada Express Entry Eligibility criteria. Canada Express Entry is the fastest and the easiest online application management system. It was introduced in  Jan 2015. This program covers mainly four different categories.

1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

2. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

3. Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

4. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

If you are applying for Canada PR visa under Canada Express Entry so only Federal Skilled Worker Program and Provincial Nominee Program are the best options available for you. As other two categories require you to have either Canadian work experience or have certification from Canada.

Canada Express Entry Eligibility under FSWP:

There are several factors that need to be considered when you are checking the eligibility for a Canada Express Entry under FSWP. To be eligible for Canada PR you need to score 67 points out of 100. These points are awarded to you on  6 factors, Age, Education Experience, IELTS, and Adaptability. To make it easy here is the 67 Points Calculator to check your score.

Once you get 67 points then the next thing to check is your CRS score as based on your CRS only, your profile gets selected under Express Entry for FSWP category. Due to the flight ban and COVID, there has not been any draw for the FSWP category since Dec 2020 but the good news is CIC is planning to resume the process in the coming months. use this CRS Points Calculator to calculate your CRS score. 

Canada Express Entry Eligibility Check under PNP

First of all, what we need to understand is PNP works in two different ways. One can apply PNP under Express entry as well as without Express Entry. It all depends on, which scenario suits an individual.  As each PNP selects applications with different criteria.  

Most of the province has the eligibility requirement of 67 points out of 100 but there are few PNP which has completely different points requirement.  Below I am going to mention those PNP which has different points requirement.

1. SINP 

2. Manitoba

3. Quebec

Which is a better way to apply for Canada PR visa in 2022?

As per our last observation and present scenario we would always recommend our client to apply and target the Provincial Nominee Program in the year 2022 because, since December 2020, the government of Canada has not released any cut-offs for the Federal skilled worker Program, Provincial Nominee Program has been the only option for overseas skilled workers and in the coming months also the targets set by Canada will be fulfilled through invitations issued through this program only.

Choosing a good consultant is a mandatory thing for any aspiring applicant because they are the ones who can guide you through the complete process knowing all the pros and cons of the application. When you choose a consultant who is affiliated with a lawyer then the chances of rejection and mistake are almost zero. Also, when you have a Canadian touch to your application you always get a little more priority as compared to other applications.
