The Canadian Express Entry Program was first launched in 2015. To this day, its status remains incredibly popular globally for people who are looking for an efficient way to become a permanent resident of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since you are here, it\u2019s safe to assume that you might be interested in how the program works, what the benefits and potential flaws of it are, and what is the best way to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide introduces 5 things to know about Canadian Express Entry Program<\/strong>, carefully curated so that they cover all the essential information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Express Entry is actually the name of an immigration system that ranks all eligible candidates hierarchically, in an organized manner. It is employed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its core is accepting immigrants as skilled workers through three main federal economic programs<\/strong> (they will be explained a bit later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The candidates who rank the highest are welcome to apply for the permanent resident status of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three aforementioned federal economic programs<\/a> are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates who are eligible under one of these three programs can make it to the Express Entry pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This program is aimed at skilled workers who want to move to Canada permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn\u2019t require a Canadian job offer or working experience, but there are some obligatory minimum requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This immigration program differs in that it requires a Canadian working experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The minimum eligibility requirements for this program are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final immigration program is for experienced tradespeople who want to immigrate to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates who want to apply under these accounts must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If all the requirements for one of the three programs described above have been met, the candidate enters the Express Entry pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where competition plays a huge role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Each candidate is given a CRS<\/strong> (C<\/strong>omprehensive R<\/strong>anking S<\/strong>ystem) score, based on the following factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sum of these two (CP + AP) is one\u2019s total CRS score, and the highest CRS score an individual can achieve is 1200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the candidates who have been labeled eligible and made it to the pool are then graded against each other (regardless of the program under which they applied).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence status. Hence, the threshold isn\u2019t pre-determined and depends on the candidates at the given moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that it is established how important it is to have a high CRS score, the question that naturally poses is: How to improve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way is to maximize language test scores, as the language ability is the most valued factor under the core points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For English, the tests that are valid are IELTS or CELPIP, and for French, TEF. All four skills are graded (listening, speaking, reading, writing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to improve your CRS score is to gain additional work experience, which will boost up the score under the \u201cskills transferability\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can look for a job offer in Canada<\/a>. This may seem difficult, but diligence is the key to success.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cExpress\u201d part of the name is there for a good reason. The whole process takes just a couple of months:<\/p>\n\n\n\n1 – The Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
