Express Entry System: What is Express Entry? Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to manage applica�ons for immigra�on to Canada. It is designed to select skilled workers who can contribute to the Canadian economy. The program is divided into three main categories: 1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), 2. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), 3. Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Express Entry category-based draws are held regularly to invite candidates from these categories to apply for permanent residency in Canada. The Express Entry system is a popular pathway for skilled workers to obtain Canadian Permanent Residency. The Express Entry system follows a points-based Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank candidates based on their profiles. Candidates with the highest CRS scores receive Invita�ons to Apply (ITAs) for Permanent Residency during regular draws conducted by IRCC. Every applicant in the Express Entry system is assigned a CRS score out of 600 points and if he scores highest points under the CRS, he will get an ITA for the PR visa. The CRS score keeps changing with every Express Entry draw. Here is the link on how to calculate your CRS Scores: h�ps://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp Express Entry operates through 3 federal economic immigra�on programs: a.
