How to immigrate to Canada through Express Entry?

Express Entry is a system used by IRCC to manage, select, and process applications for foreign nationals who want to apply for Permanent Residence in Canada. Express Entry is used to manage the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program.

Express Entry category-based draws

Until recently, Express Entry draws were primarily based on a candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which assigns points based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. However, as CRS cut-off scores have increased over time due to higher numbers of qualified candidates, many skilled workers in essential sectors of the Canadian economy found it challenging to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

To address Canada’s labor market needs and enhance economic immigration strategies, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced Express Entry category-based selections in 2023. These new Express Entry categories allow IRCC to invite candidates who meet specific skill requirements in high-demand sectors or who possess strong French-language abilities, even if their CRS score is lower than general draw cut-offs.
