Express Entry

Express Entry is an Application Management system introduced by the Government of Canada from January 1, 2015, to process certain types of skilled Immigrants. Foreign nationals who are interested in applying for Canadian Permanent Residence are required to submit their Express of Interest in the Express Entry pool. There are regular rounds of invitations in each of the four categories whereby Eligible candidates are invited to apply for Permanent Residence. Currently, the following four classes of immigration applications are processed through Express Entry:

1. Federal Skilled Worker – Federal Program
2. Federal Skilled Trades Worker – Federal Program
3. Canadian Experience Class- Federal Program
4. Provincial Nomination of certain Provincial programs

Candidates need to fulfill the eligibility criteria of one of the above-mentioned classes.

Candidates in the Express Entry pool compete for points out of 1200. They are awarded points on the basis of certain individuals and combinations of skills. This points-based system is called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) which ranks candidates in the Express Entry Pool.

Candidates in Express Entry Pool get up to 600 points under the Core and up to 600 under the additional points. The core points are further divided into three subcategories:

1. Human Capital Factor
2. Spouse or Common law
