The economic category accounts for over 60% of the total immigrants who get selected for permanent residency. Most candidates in this class are skilled professionals who apply for an immigration pathway from abroad. They also include skilled workers with temporary work permits and international student who live in Canada.
People who seek permanent residency in Canada can apply for this most sort after status through the Express Entry program. Their profiles of each applicant are digitally screened to determine their eligibility to advance to one of the three economic immigration classes namely;
- Federal Skilled Worker Class
- Federal Skilled Trades Class
