ECONOMIC IMMIGRATION
Economic immigration pathways are designed to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and investors who can contribute to Canada’s economy.
These programs focus on individuals with the education, skills, and experience needed to meet the demands of the Canadian labor market.
EXPRESS ENTRY
The Express Entry system is Canada’s primary pathway for skilled workers. It includes the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program. With category-based selection, candidates with skills in targeted industries or French-speaking abilities may have additional opportunities to qualify.
This category is designed for individuals with skilled work experience in professional, managerial, or technical occupations. Applicants are assessed based on factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability to determine their eligibility for permanent residency in Canada.
PROVENCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS
PNPs enable provinces and territories to nominate candidates who meet regional labor market needs. Some streams are aligned with Express Entry, while others operate independently, providing flexibility for applicants with specific skills or experience.
SELF-EMPLOYED PERSONS
This program allows self-employed individuals with relevant experience in cultural or athletic activities to immigrate to Canada. It is intended for individuals who can significantly contribute to the country’s artistic or athletic life.
Note: The Self-Employed Persons Program is currently on pause until January 2027.
START-UP VISA
Entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas and support from a designated organization in Canada can use this program to establish their ventures and contribute to Canada’s growing innovation sector.
NEW PATHWAYS OPENING IN 2025
Canada will introduce new pilot programs to support underserved communities and industries:
-
Rural Community Immigration Pilot: Designed to address labor shortages in smaller, rural communities by connecting businesses with skilled workers seeking permanent residence.
-
Francophone Community Immigration Pilot: Aims to enhance the economic and demographic vitality of Francophone minority communities outside Quebec by increasing French-speaking immigration.

Enhanced Caregiver Pilots: Focused on home care workers, these pilots will provide permanent residence (PR) on arrival, allowing caregivers to work with reliable employers and meet Canada’s evolving home care needs.
Details on eligibility and application processes for these new pathways will be available as the programs roll out in 2025.
