What is Express Entry?

The Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class – the 3 economic immigration programs for Canada managed by the Express Entry application management system. These programs use the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to assess applicants.

Based on human capital variables such as language proficiency, education, work experience, occupation, and age, the system grades applicants. The likelihood of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency is higher for those with the highest scores. By the end of 2023, Canada will accept nearly 82,000 new permanent residents under a government high-skilled immigration program called Express Entry, following the Immigration Levels Plan 2023–2025.
