What is the Express Entry Program?

Launched by the Government of Canada on January 1, 2015, the Express Entry System is an electronic immigration program designed to attract skilled and eligible workers. It has become one of the most popular pathways for immigrating to Canada, particularly for those with professional qualifications.

The Express Entry Program manages applications for permanent residency from immigrants who can help fill labor shortages in Canada. It enables Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to assess, recruit, and select individuals who meet the requirements of various Federal Economic Immigration programs.

Applicants must have their academic credentials assessed if they obtained a degree, diploma, or certificate outside Canada. Proficiency in English or French is also typically required. The Canadian government conducts Express Entry draws regularly—usually twice a month—inviting top-ranking candidates to apply for permanent residence.

Candidates in the Express Entry pool are assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which is calculated based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language ability, and other human capital indicators.
