Canadian Experience Class - allows graduates of a Canadian post secondary institution and temporary foreign workers with Canadian experience, to transition to permanent resident status.

Provincial Nominee Programs - These programs are for workers who have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory, want to live in that province, and want to become permanent residents of Canada. Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements.
