Ontario Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream

This stream offers a pathway to permanent residency for FSWP and CEC candidates. Ontario PNP Draw invites eligible immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination. To stand eligible, immigration candidates are required to be living in Ontario with a valid work permit and have a minimum of one year of full-time work experience. The very first step to be considered for a provincial nomination is to submit a profile to the express entry system.

Express Entry

If you qualify for one or more of these programs, you can then create an Express Entry profile. Once you upload all the documents, age and language ability, among the other essential criteria. The highest scoring immigration candidates issue ITAs, which allow them to apply for permanent residence.
