evaluate an immigrants’ ability to be a part of the Canadian workforce

express entry system. The country is allowing 300,000 into Canada this year. To

4. Each immigrant applicant is ranked on education, age, language ability, and
work experience. They are given points for each classification, up to 600 total.
An example would be, people between 20-29 years of age get the maximum of
100 points for the age category, while those over age 45 get zero. Potential
immigrants receive additional points if they have a sibling who is a permanent
resident or citizen of Canada. Spouses of immigrants are ranked on the same
criteria if they wish to apply to live in Canada. BecomeACanadian will help you
through the entire application process of immigration.
