    Canada Express Entry Requirements

    This Program chooses skilled workers based on their skills and ability to contribute to Canada’s economy.

    Express Entry manages applications for three economic immigration programs:

    • Federal Skilled Worker Program
    • Federal Skilled Trades Program
    • Canadian Experience Class

    Before we talk about requirements, here are 2 terms you need to know:

    Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB)

    The CLB is the Canadian standard used to describe, measure and recognize English language ability of adult immigrants and prospective immigrants who plan to live and work in Canada, or apply for citizenship.

    The Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens is used to assess abilities in the French language.

    There are 4 language ability tests:

    • writing
    • reading
    • listening
    • speaking

    National Occupation Classification (NOC) code

    The NOC is a list of all the occupations in the Canadian labor market. It describes each job according to skill type and skill level. For immigration purposes, these are the main job groups:

    • Skill Type 0 (zero): Management jobs
    • Skill Level A: Professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university
    • Skill Level B: Technical jobs and skilled trades that usually call for a college diploma or training as an apprentice
    • Skill Level C: Intermediate jobs that usually call for high school and/or job-specific training
    • Skill Level D: Labour jobs that usually give on-the-job training
