Immigration law
21 May
Good News!!!! You might just be Express Entry’s next trade superstar - if (and only if) you meet the criteria. No pressure… just your future on the line.
Provided: Your work experience must match the key responsibilities listed under the NOC code for your trade.
Wondering if you qualify? Here's what to do:
Look up the NOC code that aligns most closely with your trade and day-to-day job responsibilities. You can confirm this using official resources like the Government of Canada’s NOC database and the ESDC website.
Below is a complete list of job titles and their matching NOC codes:
What You Should Know:
Trade Category CRS Score: Compared to regular Express Entry draws, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score cut-offs for the trade stream tend to be lower, increasing your chances of qualifying.
Job Offer Advantage: Having a confirmed job offer isn’t always mandatory, but it can give your application a major edge—especially if the position aligns with your trade’s duties under the NOC system.
Language Requirements: Strong English or French skills are crucial. Most Express Entry streams require proof of language ability, so brushing up on your proficiency can go a long way.
Belonging to an eligible group-like skilled trades, can significantly boost your chances of getting an invitation, even if your CRS score isn’t high. Meeting the criteria for a category-specific draw increases your chances of being invited to apply for permanent residence through Express Entry.
