FAQs
Express Entry is an online system used by the Government of Canada to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. It ranks candidates using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and invites top-ranking candidates to apply for permanent residence through rounds of invitations.
There are three main types of rounds of invitations:
- General Rounds: Invite top-ranking candidates eligible for one of the three Express Entry programs.
- Program-Specific Rounds: Invite candidates who are eligible for a specific Express Entry program, such as the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
- Category-Based Rounds: Invite candidates who meet specific economic goals set by the Minister, in addition to general and program-specific rounds.
The CRS is a points-based system that ranks candidates in the Express Entry pool. Points are awarded based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language skills. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence during rounds of invitations.
If you receive an invitation to apply, you will have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence. It is crucial to ensure all your documents are prepared and meet the requirements before submitting your application.
If you do not receive an invitation, you can remain in the Express Entry pool as long as your profile is valid (typically for one year). You can also work on improving your CRS score or explore other immigration pathways.
The PNP allows provinces and territories in Canada to nominate candidates who wish to immigrate to a specific province or territory. Candidates with a provincial nomination receive additional CRS points, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
You can check your CRS score using the CRS tool available on the IRCC website. Compare your score with the scores from recent rounds of invitations to gauge your chances of receiving an invitation in future rounds.
