The <\/span>Express Entry Program<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> is a comprehensive point-based system introduced by the Canadian government to streamline the immigration process for skilled workers. The program is particularly advantageous for tech talent in STEM fields, as Canada recognizes the critical role played by these professionals in driving innovation and economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn <\/span><\/i>2025<\/span>, Canada announces 6 new occupational categories<\/a><\/span> for Express Entry, and one of them is the STEM Occupations\u201d – CanadaCIS.org <\/i><\/p>\n

Originally, Express Entry has 3 streams namely the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Under this system, candidates are assessed based on factors such as age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and adaptability. Let\u2019s look at how these streams apply to the new EE\u2019s STEM category.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) for STEM Professionals<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Through the FSWP, eligible STEM professionals with the required work experience, education, language proficiency, and other qualifications can apply to become permanent residents of Canada. Although FSWP is not exclusive to STEM professionals, this program is designed to attract and retain talented individuals (including professionals in the STEM fields) who can contribute to Canada’s economy and meet the country’s growing demand for skilled professionals in these areas.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) for STEM Professionals<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) primarily focuses on skilled trades outside of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. The program is designed to attract and facilitate the immigration of individuals with expertise in specific skilled trades, such as carpentry, plumbing, welding, and electricians, among others.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Canadian Experience Class (CEC) for STEM Professionals<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>

While the CEC is not exclusively focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) professionals, it is open to individuals from various occupations, including those in STEM fields. It is an attractive option for individuals who have already established themselves in Canada through temporary work permits or study permits. It allows them to leverage their Canadian work experience to obtain permanent residency and continue contributing to Canada’s tech industry or other STEM fields.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
