Express Entry

Express Entry( EE)

Immigration has always helped to make Canada’s economy strong and prosperous. To continue this tradition, Canada encourages skilled worker applications for PR through Express Entry System.

EE is not an immigration program in itself, but rather a system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to select candidates for immigration to Canada with a point credit system.

• EE provides a pathway to permanent residence for skilled workers in Canada or overseas.

• For potential skilled foreign workers, EE will result in fast processing times of six months or less (The processing time is not definite not due to covid Pandemic).

• Express Entry manages applications for permanent residence under these federal economic immigration categories:

  • • • • The Federal Skilled Worker Program

        • The Federal Skilled Trades Program

        • The Canadian Experience Class

• Provinces and territories can also recruit candidates from Express Entry through their Provincial Nominee Programs to fill up the local labour market shortage.
