What is the Express Entry system?
The Express Entry system is the quickest option to get Canadian Permanent Residency (PR). It has a processing time of 6 months after submitting documentation in accordance with the ITA.
Express Entry rates applicant profiles using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a point-based technique. The top-scoring applicants are awarded an Invitation to Apply (ITA), after which they can apply for permanent residence.
The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) all use Express Entry as their application management system (FSTP).
Candidates for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) who are in the Express Entry pool are already qualified for all the “no program specified” or general draws, or any other category-based rounds of invitations if they meet the criteria.
