This application process is for skilled immigrants who want to settle in Canada permanently and take part in our economy. Express Entry is an online system used to manage applications for skilled workers who want to become PR of Canada. It allows eligible candidates to submit a profile to the government of Canada. Top-ranked immigration candidates are then invited to submit an application for permanent residence.
When the minimum requirements are met, the applicant is eligible to enter the Express Entry pool. Based on 6 basic factors eligibility is assessed on a 100-point grid system for the Federal Skilled Worker Program. The current pass mark is 67 points.
In order to begin the process of immigrating to Canada as a skilled worker, you must first create an online Express Entry profile and obtain a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The CRS determines your ranking in the Express Entry pool based on factors like skills, work experience, language ability, education and others.
There are 3 categories under this program for application to become PR directly.
