What is the Express Entry Program?

Express Entry is a points-based immigration system used by the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residency through three federal economic immigration programs:

1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP):
Designed for skilled workers with foreign work experience, education, and language proficiency who wish to migrate to Canada.

2. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP):
For skilled tradespeople with experience in specific trades who meet the language and work experience requirements and seek to become permanent residents.

3. Canadian Experience Class (CEC):
For individuals who have gained skilled work experience in Canada and wish to transition to permanent residency.

How Does the Express Entry System Work?

1. Create an Express Entry Profile:
Candidates must create an online profile in the Express Entry system, providing details about their age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors.

2. Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS):
Profiles are assessed using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which awards points based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language skills. Candidates are ranked against others in the pool.

3. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA):
Candidates with the highest CRS scores are invited to apply for permanent residency through periodic draws from the Express Entry pool.

4. Submit Application for Permanent Residency:
Upon receiving an ITA, candidates must submit a detailed application for permanent residency, including supporting documents and medical and police clearances.

5. Application Processing and Decision:
Applications are processed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and a decision is made regarding permanent residency.
