Express Entery
The Federal Skilled Worker program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trade program are Canada's three federal economic immigration programs for skilled workers. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) uses Express Entry, an application management system, to handle and process applications for permanent residency.
The competitive immigration system, which ranks all qualified applicants against one another and then invites the top-ranked applicants to apply for Canadian permanent resident status, is one of the primary forces behind economic immigration to Canada. Candidates are ranked against each other according to a variety of criteria, including employment experience, education, age, and language skills.
Families and individuals looking to relocate to Canada can apply for Express Entry and become new permanent residents in a matter of months.
