West Bloomfield, MI - In April of 2014, the Canadian government approved the Express Entry initiative to go into its primary planning stages. The measure allows expedited entry for foreign workers who wish to fill positions which business owners were having trouble filling with Canadian workers. Express Entry is scheduled to take effect in January of 2015 and should provide immediate relief to business owners who are looking to employ immigrant workers.

Express Entry was presented as the result of a long discussion on immigration policy reform. For quite some time, the Canadian government has examined how certain immigration processes could benefit businesses, families and the well-being of individuals looking for work in Canada while still preserving the integrity of their border. Express Entry help migrant workers who are looking to stay in Canada for the long term, as the preliminary questionnaire they fill out before entering the country lines up their skills with the requirements of open jobs needing to be filled. If a candidate receives an offer from one of the jobs, they are then permitted to enter the country though one of four immigrant work programs: Federal Skilled Workers, Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades or Business Class. The program and offer would permit Express Entry to that candidate, allowing them the chance to apply for permanent residency.
