Economic Immigration Programs
The majority of immigrants move to Canada under economic immigration programs. We may divide these immigrants into the following major groups.
- Federal Economic Immigrants
- Quebec-selected Skilled Workers and Business
- Provincial/Territorial Nominees
Federal Economic Immigrants
Federal options are for those who intend to settle anywhere in Canada but Quebec. The subcategories of federal economic immigration methods include:
- Express Entry – This is an online system of applying for immigration to Canada that covers three streams of immigration:
Federal Skilled Worker Program – An immigration option for those who apply based on their education, work experience, knowledge of English or French languages, age, job opportunities in Canada, and adaptability to our country.
Canadian Experience Class – If you have recently worked in Canada, you could qualify for this option. This is the most popular Express Entry option for those who have already entered Canada with a valid work permit or, in some cases, a study permit.
Federal Skilled Trades Program – This method encourages skilled tradespeople to immigrate to Canada. There is a limited list of acceptable jobs. - Federal Self-employed Class – Despite its generic name, this method is limited to self-employed people under the following categories only.
Traditionally, self-employed people in cultural activities cover performing artists, visual artists, authors, experts in fine arts, etc.
Self-employed people in athletics – This option is for professional athletes, internationally acclaimed athletes, and coaches. - Start-up Visa – If you have an innovative idea and receive support from certain organizations in Canada, you may immigrate to Canada under this program.
- Atlantic Immigration Pilot – If you receive a valid job offer from an employer located in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Endward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador, you may immigrate to Canada. Since this is a pilot program, the government may stop it at any time.
- Caregivers – If you have worked as a caregiver for minor children or people with high medical needs, you may later apply for permanent residency under this program. The applicants usually work for two years or more with a valid work permit and eventually file for permanent residency.

Quebec-selected Skilled Workers and Business
Quebec has a broad agreement with the federal government of Canada. Under this agreement, also known as Canada–Québec Accord, Quebec’s government has a high level of freedom regarding immigration to their province. Quebec is mostly interested in the immigration of Francophone (French-speaking) individuals.
Provincial/Territorial Nominees
Under section 95 of the Canadian Constitution Act 1867, provinces may pass and implement laws to control immigrants’ influx to their province. All Canadian provinces and territories except for Nunavut have special programs for immigration to their province. A typical Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) consists of two stages.
- Selection by the province or territory and receiving a Certificate of Nomination
- Approval by the federal government and securing the permanent residency
The federal government looks into two significant areas before issuing the permanent residency: The applicant’s ability to establish themselves in Canada economically and their admissibility to our country.
