IRCC uses various pathways through which applicants can immigrate to Canada. All the pathways are point-based. It means the applicants need to meet the minimum point score requirements for Canada permanent residency status.

The most successful and popular pathway of Canada immigration is an express entry. It has Three subcategories- Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The applicant needs to be eligible in one of the three subcategories to be selected in the Express Entry System.

A comprehensive ranking system tool is used to assess the candidates' abilities based on the selection factors of Age, Language Skills, Education, Work Experience, arranged employment, and adaptability.
