Express Entry Canada
The Express Entry system is Canada’s primary and most popular pathway for skilled immigrants seeking permanent residency. Managed under the broader Immigration to Canada framework, Express Entry offers a fast, transparent, and merit-based route for individuals who want to live and work in Canada permanently. Whether you are already in Canada or applying from abroad, Express Entry can help you transition to permanent residence through one of its core economic immigration streams.
At the heart of this system are three federal immigration programs:
Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – Tailored for individuals who have gained skilled work experience in Canada on a temporary work permit, this program is ideal for international graduates and foreign workers who have integrated into the Canadian labor market.
Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) – Designed for professionals with foreign work experience, this program considers factors such as education, language proficiency, and work history to select candidates who can contribute to Canada’s economy.
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) – A great option for tradespeople in fields such as construction, industrial work, and maintenance. This program helps Canada fill essential skill gaps by welcoming experienced trades professionals.
Candidates for these programs enter a shared pool and are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). You can estimate your potential score using our Express Entry CRS Calculator. High-scoring applicants receive Invitations to Apply (ITAs) during regular Express Entry draws. Additional points may be awarded for factors such as Canadian education, job offers, or provincial nominations. If you’re unsure where you stand, visit our Express Entry Eligibility page to understand key criteria before entering the pool.
For individuals whose temporary status is nearing expiry while they await their permanent residency decision, the Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) offers a solution. This permit allows eligible Express Entry applicants to continue working in Canada legally while their PR application is being processed.
