Canada is known as a primary destination for internationals to settle for work and study opportunities. Furthermore, Canada’s immigration system offers more than 60 categories. The main category for permanent residency application is the Express Entry Pool. Applicants submit profiles to the Express Pool to be chosen eventually within the pool of applicants. One way of heavily increasing your points to be selected is by either obtaining a job offer or by being selecting by one of the many provinces in Canada under the provincial nominee program.
