Canada runs the Express Entry, an online system that is used to manage immigration applications from skilled workers. Eligible applicants from Pakistan can also apply for the program to immigrate to Canada.

There are three immigration programs managed through Express Entry:

Canadian Experience Class

The program is for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience. The work experience must have been gained in the 3 years before you apply

Federal Skilled Worker Program

Federal Skilled Trades Program
