What is the Express Entry system?

The Express Entry system stands out as the swiftest pathway to attain Canadian Permanent Residency (PR), boasting a processing time of 6 months post-document submission in alignment with the Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Utilizing the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a point-based methodology, Express Entry assesses applicant profiles. Those securing the highest scores receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), paving the way for them to pursue permanent residence.

Express Entry serves as the application management system for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

For candidates part of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) within the Express Entry pool, they automatically qualify for general draws labeled as “no program specified” or other category-based rounds of invitations, provided they meet the specified criteria.
