What is Express Entry?

Established in 2015, Express Entry is a system for managing applications that evaluates and ranks candidates from three of Canada’s economic class immigration programs: 

Express Entry utilizes the Comprehensive Ranking System to evaluate candidates based on several factors such as work experience, occupation, language proficiency, and education. These factors are crucial indicators of a candidate’s human capital. By using the Comprehensive Ranking System, Express Entry can accurately assess candidates and determine their eligibility for Canadian immigration. Candidates who score high on this system are more likely to receive an invitation to apply (ITA) in the next Express Entry draw. Generally. The Canadian economy expects highly skilled candidates. From these programs to establish themselves successfully.

If a candidate receives an ITA. They have a 60-day period to submit their final application for permanent residence to IRCC. An immigration officer reviews the application to determine the candidate’s eligibility for permanent resident status.
