Express Entry
Express Entry is an electronic system used to manage the applications of skilled workers who wish to become permanent residents of Canada. Once an interested candidate submits an online profile, the federal government determines if the candidate is eligible for a program managed by Express Entry. Eligible candidates are accepted into the Express Entry pool and are ranked according to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
The CRS is a points-based system used by the government to assess and rank candidates in the Express Entry pool. The CRS score is calculated based on a candidate’s age, education, work experience, language skills, as well as other factors based on Express Entry Criteria.
Approximately every two weeks, the Canadian government selects the highest-scoring candidates from the Express Entry pool and provides them with an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
How can I apply for Express Entry?
Before you start building your profile, below are few important steps to complete:
- Language test results: It is mandatory to prove your knowledge effectively in one of the two official Canadian languages English or French.
- Educational credential assessment (ECA) report: Applicants who are educated outside of Canada are required to have their degrees accessed to ensure their foreign education is equivalent to similar Canadian education.
