What is Express Entry?

Express EntryEntry is an online system used to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. The Express Entry system was introduced in 2015, and since then, it has become the most popular way for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada.

Express EntryEntry is a two-step process: first, you must submit an Express Entry profile, and if you are invited to apply, you will then offer a complete application for permanent residence.

Your Express Entry profile is your opportunity to tell us about your skills, work experience, education, and other factors that make you eligible for Express Entry. You will be given a score based on the information in your profile, and if you score high enough, you will be invited to apply for permanent residence.

Express EntryEntry is a competitive process, so it’s essential to make sure that your profile is as strong as it can be before you submit it.

What international students need to know

The Express Entry pathway is not an immigration category in and of itself; instead, it is an online management system that handles the permanent resident applications of three skilled worker categories: FSWP, CEC, and FSTP (Federal Skilled Trades Programme).

Including the CEC category in this round’s invitation is particularly comforting for overseas graduates with post-study employment permits. As the principal route for international students to get permanent residency in Canada through Express Entry, the CEC was suspended last year to alleviate IRCC’s large immigration application backlogs.

Before January 2021, Canada’s primary emphasis for admitting new immigrants was the CEC. According to CIC News, this was because the majority of CEC candidates at the time were already residing in the nation and hence were not subject to pandemic-related travel restrictions.

During the epidemic, Canada’s appeal as a study destination increased due to its pro-immigration policy. Offering several migration routes, it surpassed the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia as the most popular destination for international students to study abroad.

Conclusion

Express EntryEntry is an excellent option for skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada. With fast processing times and the ability to live and work anywhere in the country, Express Entry is a popular choice for many people.
