Canada continues to experience a significant labour shortage. At the end of 2022, Canada had nearly 900,000 job openings. The challenge for businesses to fill job openings continues to be a concern for governments at all levels, exploring various solutions to attract and retain talent ranging from training programs to immigration policies, continues to be a top priority for Canadian governments.

Immigrating through one of the three Express Entry programs remains the most efficient and straightforward method of immigration to Canada. The three immigration programs under the Express Entry are Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, Canadian Experience Class, and qualifying Provincial Nominee Programs.

What does the Canadian government look for when accepting skilled workers?

The Express Entry was designed to streamline the immigration process for skilled workers immigrating to Canada with a pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. Each program assesses candidates on a point system that takes into account age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.

  • To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words.
  • If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that of the individual languages.
The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental.
