How to Apply for the Express Entry

What is Express Entry?

This system allows Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to proactively assess, recruit and select immigrants who are skilled and/or possessed the relevant qualifications under federal economic immigration programs:
•  Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
•  The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
•  The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
The Express Entry program also allows individual provinces and territories to use the system in order to recruit suitable candidates as part of the Provincial Nominee Programs so that labor market demands are met.
Express Entry is a competitive immigration system, ranking all eligible candidates against one another and then inviting the best ranking candidates to apply for Canadian permanent resident status. Candidates are ranked against one another based on their age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and other factors.

Express Entry is a 4 step process:
1. Find out if you are eligible.
2. Get your Documents ready
3. Submit your EE profile
4. Receive an Invitation to Apply for Permanent residence.
