WHAT IS EXPRESS ENTRY?

The Express Entry system is a program that functions on the basis of points allotted to the applicant according to six important elements. The applicant has to submit an EOI (Expression of Interest) that is then assessed and reviewed by IRCC who gives scores in terms of Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), to the candidates. After the submission and assessment of application you enter the Express Entry Pool from where top candidates having the highest CRS Score are selected.

The major programs under the Canadian Express Entry System are Federal Skilled Workers Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class and Provincial Nomination Program.

If the application is approved under any one of the given Express Entry programs, IRCC issues a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). Approved permanent residents can then complete the landing process.
