Express Entry- How the System Works
The Express Entry system is Canada’s new electronic system for managing economic immigration applications. The system was introduced in January 2015 and is designed to make the immigration process fairer, faster, and more efficient.
Here’s how the Express Entry system works:
1. Candidates create an online profile and are entered into a pool of eligible candidates.
2. Candidates are ranked against each other using a points-based system, and the highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence.
3. If a candidate is invited to apply, they will submit a complete application for permanent residence, which will be processed in six months or less.
The Express Entry system is designed to make it easier for skilled workers to come to Canada. If you are a skilled worker who is interested in immigrating to Canada, you may be eligible to enter the Express Entry pool.
To be eligible for Express Entry, candidates must meet the criteria for one of the three economic immigration programs managed by Express Entry:
1. The Federal Skilled Worker Program
2. The Federal Skilled Trades Program
3. The Canadian Experience Class
In addition to meeting the eligibility criteria for one of the programs above, candidates must also:
-Have a valid skills assessment from a designated agency
-Meet the minimum language requirements
-Have at least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent work experience in a skilled occupation
-Intend to live outside the province of Quebec
-Be able to prove that they have enough money to support themselves and their family after they arrive in Canada
If you meet all of the criteria above, you may be eligible to enter the Express Entry pool. To enter the pool, you will need to create an online profile and provide information about yourself, such as your age, education, work experience, language skills, and other details.
Once you have created your profile, you will be given a score based on the information you have provided. Your score will be used to rank you against other candidates in the Express Entry pool. The highest-ranking candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residence.

Who is Eligible for Express Entry?
The Express Entry system is designed for skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada. To be eligible, you must first meet the criteria of one of the federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, or the Canadian Experience Class.
If you are eligible for any of these programs, you can create an online profile with Express Entry. Your profile will be entered into a pool of candidates. From the pool, the Canadian government will invite the candidates who score the highest on the Comprehensive Ranking System to apply for permanent residence.
To be eligible for Express Entry, you must:
- have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer, or
- have at least one year of full-time work experience in a skilled occupation (NOC 0, A or B), or
- have completed a Canadian post-secondary educational program of at least two years, or
- have a combination of work experience and education that totals at least one year
In addition, you must meet the minimum language requirements of the program you want to apply for and prove that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you arrive in Canada.
If you are invited to apply for permanent residence, you will be given 60 days to submit a completely online application.
How to Submit an Express Entry Profile
The Express Entry system is an online application management system used by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to select candidates for immigration to Canada under certain economic immigration programs. Express Entry allows IRCC to manage applications in a fast and efficient manner.
To be eligible for Express Entry, you must first create an online profile. This profile will include information about your:
- age
- language skills
- education
- work experience
- other skills
Once you have created your profile, you will be placed in a pool of candidates. From this pool, IRCC will invite the highest-ranking candidates to apply for permanent residence.
To create an Express Entry profile, you will need to provide:
- your personal contact information
- your passport or travel document information
- your language test results
- your education assessment results (if you have completed post-secondary education outside of Canada)
- your work experience information
You will also need to create an account with the Job Bank, which is a Canadian government website that helps match skilled workers with job openings.
Once you have created your profile and submitted all of the required information, you will be given a score based on the Express Entry points system. The points system is used to assess and rank candidates in the Express Entry pool.
The maximum number of points that you can receive is 1200. The points are awarded based on the following criteria:
- age
- language skills
- level of education
- work experience
- whether you have a valid job offer
- whether you have been nominated by a province or territory
If you are invited to apply for permanent residence, you will have 60 days to submit a complete application.
It is important to note that creating an Express Entry profile does not guarantee that you will be invited to apply for permanent residence.
Express Entry: The Points System
The Express Entry Points System is the method used by the Canadian government to assess and score potential candidates for their Express Entry program.
The system was designed to make the immigration process fairer and faster for both the Canadian government and the people applying to come to Canada.
The points system is based on a number of factors, including your age, education, work experience, and whether you have a job offer from a Canadian employer.
Here is a more detailed look at how the Express Entry points system works and how you can use it to your advantage.

How Invitations to Apply are Issued
If you want to be considered for immigration to Canada through the Express Entry system, you will need to create an online profile. Part of this profile involves indicating your interest in being invited to apply for permanent residence.
The Express Entry system is designed to be fair and transparent, and invitations to apply are issued to eligible candidates in random order. That means that there is no “list” of candidates who are waiting to be invited.
The number of invitations issued can change from one draw to the next and is based on the number of candidates in the pool, as well as the specific immigration programs that are being targeted in that particular draw.
Here’s a step-by-step look at how invitations to apply are issued under Express Entry:
1. Candidates are entered into the Express Entry pool
The first step is to create an online profile and be entered into the Express Entry pool. You will need to provide information about yourself, including your work experience, education, language skills, and other details.
2. Candidates are ranked against each other
All of the candidates in the pool are then ranked against each other using a points-based system. The comprehensive ranking system (CRS) is used to score and rank candidates.
3. The cut-off score is announced
The cut-off score is the score that is required to be invited to apply in a given draw. It is the lowest-ranked candidate who is invited to apply in each draw. The cut-off score can change from one draw to the next.
4. Invitations to apply are issued
Candidates who meet the cut-off score are issued an invitation to apply for permanent residence. These invitations are issued in random order.
5. Candidates have 60 days to submit a complete application
Once you receive an invitation to apply, you will have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence. This application must be submitted online, and you will need to provide additional documentation, such as police certificates and medical exams.
After Receiving an Invitation to Apply

7. Express Entry: The Application Process
The Express Entry system is an online application management system for certain economic immigration programs. Candidates create an online profile with the Express Entry system and are then ranked against other candidates in the Express Entry pool.
The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular draws from the Express Entry pool.
If you are invited to apply, you will need to complete and submit an online application for permanent residence.
The Express Entry system is not a separate immigration program. Rather, it is a way to manage applications for the following programs:
-Federal Skilled Worker Program
-Federal Skilled Trades Program
-Canadian Experience Class
-Provincial Nominee Program
To be eligible for Express Entry, you must first meet the criteria of one of the programs above. If you do, you will then need to create an online Express Entry profile.
Creating an Express Entry profile does not guarantee that you will be invited to apply for permanent residence. You will be placed in a pool of candidates, and the highest-ranking candidates will be invited to apply.
The Express Entry system uses a points-based system to assess and score candidates. Candidates are awarded points for factors such as age, education, work experience, and language ability.
The points-based system is known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The CRS is used to rank candidates in the Express Entry pool against each other.
Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular draws from the Express Entry pool.
The Express Entry system is managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
8. Express Entry: After the Application is Submitted
The Express Entry system is designed to be as simple and straightforward as possible for potential immigrants to Canada. After you have created your Express Entry profile, the next step is to submit your application.
The application process is entirely online, and you will be asked to provide various pieces of information and documents. Once you have submitted your application, you will be placed in the Express Entry pool.
The Express Entry pool is a database of potential immigrants who have been assessed against the criteria for Canadian immigration programs. From the pool, candidates are selected to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
The selection of candidates is based on a point system, with points being awarded for factors such as age, education, work experience, and language ability. The highest-scoring candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence.
The Express Entry system is constantly changing and evolving, so it is important to keep up to date on the latest information. After you have submitted your application, you can check your status online at any time.
It is also important to note that you are not required to have a job offer in order to submit an Express Entry application. However, having a job offer will increase your chances of being selected from the pool.
If you are selected to receive an ITA, you will have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence. Once your application is received, it will be processed as quickly as possible.
The Express Entry system is designed to help you immigrate to Canada as quickly and easily as possible. After you have submitted your application, all you need to do is wait to see if you are selected from the pool. If you are, you will be on your way to starting a new life in Canada.
