Express Entry

Canada Express Entry, introduced in January 2015, is the preferred immigration system for Canada permanent residence, replacing the previous "first come, first served" approach.

What is Express Entry and how does it work?

Express Entry is an online system that manages Canada's immigration application intake. Eligible applicants submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile, ranking them in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The highest-ranked candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Once issued an ITA, applicants have 60 days to submit their complete application and pay the processing fees. The federal government is committed to processing complete PR applications within a speedy timeframe of just 6 months.

For Candidates:

Express Entry is a streamlined, expeditious, and effective immigration selection system that provides qualified skilled workers with the opportunity to obtain permanent residence in Canada.

It encompasses several economic class programs,

Federal Skilled Worker Program
Federal Skilled Trades Program
Canada Experience Class
Select streams under Provincial Nominee Programs

How can you apply for Express Entry?

An application under the Express Entry system is a two-step process:

Step 1: Create your online profile

Qualified candidates in 347 occupations, spanning various sectors like Management & Financial Services, Engineering, Information Technology & Sciences, Health Occupations, Skilled Trades, etc., can submit an expression of interest profile to the Express Entry Pool.
Selection criteria encompass factors like age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and more, with rankings determined by the Comprehensive Ranking System. Job seekers without a job offer or provincial nomination can utilize the Canada Job Bank to connect with Canadian employers.

Provincial and Territorial Nominee Programs (PTNP)

The Provincial and Territorial Nominee Program (PTNP) enables provincial and territorial governments to nominate Express Entry Pool candidates for permanent residence. Nominated candidates are awarded 600 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), significantly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

When deciding whether to nominate a candidate, a provincial government will consider all of the general Express Entry Criteria as well as:

The applicant’s intention to live in the province on a permanent basis.
Applicant's permanent intention to reside in the province.
The applicant’s ability to become economically established in the province
The applicant’s intention to live in the province on a permanent basis. Provinces have the authority to nominate any candidate for permanent residence, but nominees must still satisfy the Express Entry program's requirements.

This includes meeting the program criteria for:

Federal Skilled Worker Program
Federal Skilled Trades Program
Canada Experience Class Program

Provinces that wish to nominate an applicant must take the following steps:

1. Select a candidate from the Express Entry pool who meets the criteria and has shown interest in immigrating to the province in their profile.
2. Notify the candidate of their nomination for permanent residence. The candidate has 30 days to accept, noting they can only accept one province's nomination at a time.
3. Upon accepting the nomination, the candidate receives 600 comprehensive ranking score points and is likely to receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
To nominate a candidate not in the Express Entry pool, the province must guide them in creating an Express Entry profile and then proceed with the aforementioned three steps.
