Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) made a big change to the list of trade jobs that qualify for Express Entry certificates of qualification. This upgrade expands the prospects for people looking to immigrate to Canada, bringing about a revolutionary change. Now that 101 professions are included on the list, this development is expected to fulfill the aspirations of a great number of
people.
What is a Certificate of Qualification?
A qualification certificate is an official document that attests to a person’s suitability for employment in a certain specialized trade. It is proof that the person has completed all requirements to perform their trade in a specific province or region, including passing a certification exam.
The Game-Changer: No Work Experience required:
The fact that this update does not require any prior work experience in any of the listed occupations is among its most impressive features. Rather, all you have to do is get a certification certificate for one of these 101 jobs. Anyone hoping to pursue a profession in Canada will find this to be a game-
changer.
Boosting your CRS score:
A certificate of certification is more than simply a document—it has the power to dramatically raise your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) rating. It’s a useful tool in your immigration journey, adding up to 50 more CRS points to your Express Entry profile. Whether you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) or not may depend on these considerations.
No Need for a Job Offer:
This update’s noteworthy feature is that you can obtain these extra points without having a job offer from a Canadian employer, in addition to the requirement that you have no work experience. This makes it possible for a wider variety of applicants to be eligible for Express Entry.
Enroll in Skilled Trades Programs:
Consider enrolling in one of the skilled trades programs if you are already in Canada and have a valid
Express Entry profile, or if you want to create one. These courses are made to give you the abilities
and information need to succeed in the trade of your choice.
How to Obtain a Certificate of Qualification:
After completing a skilled trades program and becoming proficient in your chosen trade, the next
step is to pass an exam and receive a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province. Your proof
of proficiency and entry point to rewarding employment prospects in Canada is this certificate.
