What is Canada Express Entry?

The Express Entry system serves as the applicant management system for the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, and Federal Skilled Trades Program. Individuals in the Express Entry pool for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are already eligible for at least one of these programs. Express Entry employs the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a point-based method, to assess candidate profiles. Those with the highest scores receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), allowing them to submit a permanent residency application. Following submission, an IRCC representative evaluates the application, potentially conducting interviews or requesting additional documents, in addition to biometric data. A successful application grants the individual permanent residency in Canada, bringing them one step closer to Canadian citizenship.
