Canada has developed a multi-layered system to bring skilled immigrants and their families to Canada. There are now multiple options for permanent residence available for individuals residing inside and outside of Canada. Recently Canada has introduced broad changes to the Federal Skilled Worker program selection criteria, as well as the Canadian Experience Class. It also created a new class of economic immigrants for individuals in certain skilled trades, as well as the Start-Up visa immigrant class. With such a range of options available to persons working in Canada and skilled workers abroad, it is important to consult with a lawyer to determine which option best suits your needs and will result in the best and fastest chance of success.
