Offering those with skills and experience opportunities and success in Canada
June 24, 2015 — Berlin, Germany — The Government of Canada successfully launched Express Entry, a modern immigration application management system, this past January. Express Entry gives prospective skilled immigrants from Germany a new and fast alternative for coming to Canada. This new system is designed to get people with the skills and experience that Canada’s labour market and economy need, and ensures that immigrants arrive here faster than ever before.
Immigration to Canada through Express Entry is an option that Germans should consider if exploring opportunities to emigrate. The recently launched webpage in German makes this information easier to find.
Canada is one of the most multicultural countries in the world, with clean and friendly cities, world-class universities, a strong economy, and many business and job opportunities. The Canadian economy has experienced one of the best performances among G7 countries in recent years and has one of the highest standards of living among G20 countries.
Under Express Entry, skilled workers who want to apply to Canada’s key economic immigration programs are able to create an online profile and express their interest in coming to Canada permanently. Those who meet the minimum criteria are accepted into the pool and ranked according to various factors, including language proficiency, education and work experience. The top candidates in the pool are then invited to apply, and complete applications are processed in six months or less.
