A large Midwest hub for finance, manufacturing, and healthcare, with steady interest in Express Entry and provincial nomination pathways among licensed professionals.
Chicago has a deep bench of healthcare and finance professionals, both occupation groups that have benefited from targeted category-based Express Entry draws in recent cycles.
Express Entry is a points-based national pool — your CRS score, not your city, determines your ranking. Still, local labor-market conditions shape which occupations move fastest through category-based draws. Mahyar Afzali, RCIC, works directly with clients throughout the process — from initial eligibility assessment through submission and follow-through — regardless of where in the US you're based.
The Consulate General of Canada in Chicago serves the Midwest; immigration applications are filed with IRCC directly rather than through the consulate.
