Unknown to a lot of people, your age can affect your chances of making it to Canada. If you’re going through the Federal Skilled Worker program, you still have to go through Express Entry.
As explained in an earlier article, Express Entry is a point-based online system put in place by the Canadian government for potential immigrants.
