Express Entry
For three Canadian immigration programs: the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Express entry is the application management system. Also, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applicants in the Express Entry pool are already qualified for a minimum of one of these programs.
To rank the profiles of the claimants, Express Entry uses a points-based system, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). In addition, the top-scoring contenders will get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) and can then apply for permanent residency.
After the applicant applies, an IRCC officer assesses the application and makes a choice. The officer will also ask for biometrics and may set up an interview or demand more essential credentials. Once this is over, if accepted, the aspirant is now a permanent resident of Canada and one step nearer to becoming a citizen of Canada.
