According to a statistical report, in Canada (2020) there are 100,000 Bangladeshi-origin Canadians.

Immigration to Canada might be the best decision for you if you prefer living in a North American country to ensure a bright future for your next generation.

The government of Canada has set a target of welcoming over 400,000 new immigrants each year, between 2022-2024. Canada offers one of the world’s most open and vibrant immigration programs.

Express Entry

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is Canada’s oldest immigration program!. At present, the FSWP is among the most popular three skilled worker programs managed by Canada’s Express Entry system.

Express Entry, similar to skilled migration to Australia, uses a points-based selection system, known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), to rank potential candidates and choose the best ones for Canadian permanent residence.

There are several core factors in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Age, level of education, language skill in English or French, and job experience are the most important factors for successfully moving to Canada with family.

Successful candidates under the Express Entry program get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Canada’s IRCC issues ITAs approximately every two weeks. If you do not get an ITA, you cannot apply for permanent residence.

If you get an ITA, you will be required to submit your proper application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). You will get a decision once a visa officer reviews all your information and documents provided via the IRCC portal.

Canada’s express entry is considered an important program through which people can get Canadian PR. Many business owners who plan for Canadian immigration by investment may also get benefited from the express entry process.
