Starting 1st Jan. 2015, Canada reopened its doors and has since welcomed Skilled Professionals through the Express Entry system. This system has particularly been introduced for the management of applications for Permanent Residency.
It is easy and hassle-free for a candidate to apply for the Canada express entry from Singapore. Essentially, the application process goes at a faster speed than the regular ones. The best aspect of the process is that it covers a wide range of job opportunities, and is open for all professionals.
It is possible for professionals who are listed under the NOC (National Occupation Classification) or even NOB O, B & A to apply for immigration program. According to CIC or Citizenship and Immigration Canada, there are a number of applications to be accepted that have been lifted.
As a selection-based process, applicants under this system are selected on the basis of their merit. This includes numerous factors such as age, experience, education, IELTS (English language ability) and many more. Applicants will receive an ITA (Invitation to apply), upon selection, which permits them to file their documents for permanent residency. This process may take about six months or more.
