Many apply want to apply through the fastest way to achieve Canada PR is by applying through Express Entry. But “How does this program works?”
This program analyze a candidate’s profile that meet the minimum requirements for:
- Skilled work experience(s)
- language ability (English, French)
- Education equivalency
- Age
One must meet all the minimum requirements to be eligible.
Selection factors
If a candidate meets all the minimum requirements, the Express entry algorithm will then assess an application based on:
- Age of the candidate.
- Education levels achieved.
- The work experience.
- Whether the candidate have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer.
- English and/or French language skills of the candidate.
- Adaptability factor (how well one is likely to settle in Canada).
The above factors are part of a 100-point grid which is used to assess the eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker Program under the express entry system. The candidate earns the points for how well he/she scores in each of the 6 factors mentioned for point calculation.
The minimum criteria or as generally referred to as ‘passing mark’ is 67 points.
Selection factor point grid
Let us see how selection factor points are used to assess a candidate.
Once the candidate is in the Express Entry pool, his/her profile ranks according to a altogether different ranking system. The highest-ranking candidates from the pool are selected and are invited to apply for permanent residence.
- Skilled work experience
- Skilled work experience means that the candidate has worked in 1 of these National Occupational Classification (NOC) job groups mentioned below:
- Skill Level ‘O’- Managerial jobs
- Skill Level ‘A’- Professional jobs
- Skill Level ‘B’ -Technical jobs and skilled trades
A candidate should be able to demonstrate that while being employed in the primary occupation, he/she performed the duties mentioned in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC code instructions. This is followed by all the essential duties mentioned in the duties of the NOC code and a person must be performing at least 70% match to the NOC code duties.
Your skilled work experience must be:-
- 1 year at least in the same job (to ensure the same NOC code is applied) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (known as your primary occupation)
- Well within the last 10 years from the present date and time.
- paid Full-time or part-time work (have been paid wages or earned commission regularly—volunteer work or unpaid internships do not account to be considered)
- at least 1 year of continuous work with the employer = 1,560 hours in total (30 hours per week)—you can meet this in a few different ways:
- full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full-time (1,560 hours)
- an equal amount in part-time work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 work hours)
- A candidate can or may work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet the work requirement.
- full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
- Can be Part-time or full time work experience
- The skilled work experience must be “paid work” including paid wages or earned commission. Volunteer work or unpaid internships are not counted.
