As of January 2015, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has a new electronic system called Express Entry to manage applications for permanent residence under certain economic immigration programs. If you are a foreign-national classified under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, the Canadian Experience Class, or you are an Entry-level Temporary Foreign Worker, you may be eligible to apply under Express Entry in order to obtain Permanent Resident status. To determine if Express Entry is right for you, or to determine if you are eligible to apply, contact The Law Office of Fay Hassaan P.C. and we will be more than happy to assist you with your immigration questions!
