Express Entry

Express Entry

Express Entry is Canada’s flagship immigration system for skilled workers who want to become permanent residents. It is one of the fastest and most popular pathways to immigrate to Canada, offering qualified candidates the opportunity to live and work in Canada permanently.

What is Express Entry?
Express Entry is an online system managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). It is designed to select candidates who have the skills, education, and work experience needed to contribute to Canada’s economy.
The system manages applications under three federal economic immigration programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
• Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) also use Express Entry to invite skilled candidates.

How Express Entry Works

1. Create a Profile – Candidates submit their details (age, education, work experience, language skills, etc.) into the Express Entry pool.
2. Receive a CRS Score – Each profile is ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
3. Invitation to Apply (ITA) – Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular draws.
4. Submit PR Application – Once invited, applicants have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence.
5. Processing – Most applications are processed within 6 months after submission.

Key Requirements for Express Entry

• Language Proficiency: English and/or French (IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF results required)
• Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for foreign education
• Skilled Work Experience in a qualifying occupation
• Proof of Funds (unless exempt)
• Ability to meet program-specific requirements (FSWP, FSTP, CEC)

Why Choose Express Entry?

• Fast Processing – PR applications are usually processed within 6 months.
• Family Friendly – Spouses and dependent children can be included.
• Pathway to Citizenship – Permanent residents may apply for Canadian citizenship once eligibility is met.
• Opportunity for Provinces – Additional chances to be nominated by a province through PNPs linked with Express Entry.
