The Express Entry system provides a streamlined pathway for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada. It employs the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a points-based assessment, to evaluate candidates based on criteria such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. Candidates with higher CRS scores receive invitations to apply for permanent residency through regular draws conducted by the Canadian government. Once invited, applicants can proceed to submit their comprehensive application for permanent residency.
