Express Entry Canada

Express Entry Program

Canada Express Entry Program is an online application system designed for skilled immigrants who desire to settle in Canada and contribute to the Canadian economy. It uses a points-based system, known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) , to rank skilled workers on the basis of the information provided by them, and then select the most competitive for immigration by conducting regular draws.

This program is managed by the Department of Immigration of the Government of Canada, i.e., Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). IRCC selects and communicates with qualified and skilled immigrants on the basis of their skills and ability to contribute to Canada’s economy and helps by fulfilling the labour market requirements of Canada.
