Express Entry

Express Entry

The IRCC has created a selection process for Canada's Express Entry for evaluating and selecting immigrants for Canada. It is not a distinct immigration program system rather it is designed to help and handle applications for permanent residency under the following federal economic immigration streams:

• Federal Skilled Worker Class (previously known as – The Federal Skilled Worker Program)
• Federal Skilled Trades Class (previously known as The Federal Skilled Trades Program)
• Canadian Experience Class
• Provinces and territories can also recruit candidates from the Canada Express Entry Pool through their Provincial Nominee Programs to meet local labor market needs.

To increase efficiency, the system has eliminated paper applications and is entirely electronic and online.
