What is Express Entry?
The Express Entry system manages applications for Canada’s .
Canada’s Express Entry system provides a process for managing applications to three immigration programs – the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class. With its efficient and user-friendly approach, Express Entry ensures that applicants are able to navigate the immigration process with ease and confidence.
Canada uses a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to assess and rank applicants for permanent residency. The CRS takes into account factors such as language proficiency, age, employment history, occupation, and education. Higher CRS scores increase an applicant’s chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency in Canada.
The Provincial Nominee Program offers a significant advantage in Express Entry draws by awarding an additional 600 CRS points to the candidates who obtain a provincial nomination.
Category-Based Express Entry
From May 31 onwards, the IRCC has introduced category-based selection draws that focus on specific industries such as healthcare, STEM professions, trades, transportation, and agriculture. Candidates with relevant work experience or good French language skills will be given priority. The main objective is to fill job vacancies in high-demand sectors and support the economy. However, Express Entry candidates still require a competitive CRS score to have a chance in these draws.
