Express Entry из Венесуэлы

Обзор для венесуэльских Applicants

Venezuela has become a significant source country for Canadian immigration in recent years, driven by the country's political and economic crisis. The Venezuelan Canadian community has grown rapidly, concentrated in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver. Venezuelan professionals bring strong skills in engineering (particularly petroleum), technology, medicine, and business.

Many Venezuelan Express Entry applicants are currently living in third countries such as Colombia, Chile, the US, Spain, or other nations.
