What are the main immigration programs for construction workers?

Construction workers can apply through several programs, including:

• Express Entry: Through the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), for those with experience in skilled trades.
• Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Some provinces have specific streams for skilled tradespeople, such as Ontario’s Trades Stream or British Columbia’s Skilled Worker Stream.
• Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA): If an employer offers a job in construction, they may need to apply for an LMIA to hire foreign workers.
