The Canadian government selects skilled workers based on their skills and ability to contribute to the Canadian economy. The Express Entry (EE) system, implemented by the federal government on January 1, 2015, is an online immigration application system. Candidates who meet any of the eligibility criteria for immigration can enter the EE pool, where they are assigned Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores. The immigration authorities rank the applicants based on their CRS scores, and those who meet the minimum required score receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the immigration authorities. Upon receiving an ITA, applicants can submit their Permanent Resident (PR) visa application. The Express Entry system, often referred to as EE, is not a new immigration program but rather an online system for candidate selection. It is rooted in the traditional Canadian skilled worker programs, which include the following three categories: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Only individuals who meet the eligibility criteria for any of these three categories can enter the EE pool. Once in the EE pool, candidates are assigned CRS scores based on the EE CRS criteria. The immigration department utilizes the EE system to select high-scoring applicants on a monthly basis and issue invitations for immigration visa applications. Furthermore, some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are also aligned with the Express Entry system. Candidates who apply for provincial nomination under the EE system must already meet the eligibility criteria for FSW, FST, or CEC, and then satisfy the specific immigration policies of a particular province. Once nominated by a provincial government, applicants receive an additional 600 points in the EE system, which significantly increases their chances of being selected from the EE pool in the subsequent draws.
