Express Entry is the superfast method for every skilled professional seeking Canadian immigration. Express Entry categories are being used to select individuals for Canadian Permanent Residence based on their professional experience rather than their CRS scores. This new approach has provided immigration opportunities to many people who previously did not have them. The question is: Are there any alternatives for people who work in occupations not targeted by category-based Express Entry draws?
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) provide economic immigration to Canada; however, they were previously eclipsed by Express Entry, now Canada’s most popular economic immigration method. Here are some of the most in-demand jobs targeted by the Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) per province.
