Express Entry

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is an online immigration system managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). It allows skilled workers to apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada through three key economic immigration programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

Express Entry ranks candidates based on factors like age, education, work experience, language skills, and job offers, inviting top-ranked applicants to apply for PR through regular draws.
