There is a system by which such Canada Visa aspirants may score points. This is an electronic point – based system designed to call those who wish to move to Canada.

The people who go on a long- term basis to Canada under Canada Express Entry are eligible to live and work there. There are several plus points that would raise your score on the CRS – Ranking System Comprehensive such as a valid job offer, provincial nomination, skill transferability, an immediate relative who is settled there, etc. Some parts like the Core Human Factors, accompanying spouse,etc will allot points anyway. (There is still an age bracket).

Visa programs such as FSW/ Federal Skilled Worker Program and Canada Experience Class are categorized under the Canada Express Entry System. While the FSW is for the aspirating PR Visa holders who have required skill, education, and work experience, the CEC is for the people who have prior work experience in the country.

A minimum score of 67 in the electronic point - based selection system is needed after which visa applicants get profiled with the Canada Express Entry and are into the ‘Expression of Interest’.

The CIC reviews such visa applications that are then directed to another pool.
