What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is Canada's online system for selecting skilled workers for permanent residence. You create a profile, receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and wait in a pool of candidates. Canada holds regular draws and invites the highest-ranked candidates to apply.

Your score is based on age, education, work experience, language ability and adaptability.
