Immigration Through the Express Entry System

Express Entry is a centralized system for managing applications for permanent residency in Canada, which combines several immigration programs. This system allows skilled professionals to apply through various streams such as federal and provincial programs, helping to support Canada’s economy and fill gaps in the labor market.

Starting in 2024, Canada is focusing on professionals in priority sectors such as healthcare, skilled trades, construction, and French-speaking specialists. These changes help balance immigration flows and support infrastructure, including social services and housing.

How Express Entry Works

Candidates are assessed based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency in English or French. These factors form their points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Approximately every 4-6 weeks, the system selects candidates based on priorities, and successful candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency (PR). Once invited, candidates have 60 days to submit all required documents.

What is Mandamus?
