Skilled Workers
We assist clients in many areas of business immigration, with expertise in Express Entry and business-based pathways to permanent residency.
Express Entry
Express Entry provides three principal ways to immigrate to Canada as a permanent resident: (1) Canadian Experience Class (CEC), (2) Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW), and (3) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FTSP). Depending on whether or not your skills and experience contribute would contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory, you may also qualify to apply for Express Entry via the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). At BinHimyar Law Group, we stay informed of all the latest developments, changes, draws, and business immigration needs of Canada and can help you assess the best way forward for you to immigrate to Canada through business immigration.
