Since 2015, the Canadian government has implemented a series of fast-track entry programs (Express Entry Programs) aimed at selecting qualified foreign workers based on their skills and their ability to contribute to the economy of Canada.

Express Entry handles applications for three economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Trades Program, the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
