Express Entry

Express Entry is an application process for skilled workers who would like to permanently live in Canada (i.e., gain permanent residency). Express Entry is much more than just an immigration program, it’s more like a system used by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada), to choose candidates eligible for immigration to Canada. Eligible candidates receive a score based on criteria such as their age, education, work experience, and language skills. The Canadian government routinely holds draws inviting the highest-scoring candidates to apply for permanent residence.


Express Entry has three different draw types:

1. General rounds of invitation: IRCC invites those with the highest-ranking CRS scores to apply for permanent residence.

2. Program-specific rounds of invitation: IRCC invites those with the highest-ranking CRS scores who are eligible for a specific Express Entry program.

3. Category-based rounds of invitation: IRCC invites those with the highest-ranking CRS scores who are eligible for specific categories designated by IRCC aimed to promote certain economic goals.


An Express Entry profile can be valid for up to one year. Candidates who receive an ITA can expect the Canadian government to process their permanent residence applications within six months. The government begins to measure the processing time when a complete permanent residence application is received. The processing time ends when a final decision is made on the application. If a candidate does not receive an ITA within one year of creating their Express Entry profile, they can simply re-submit their profile if they are still eligible.


Ways to improve your Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System score include:


  • • Ensure you claim all the CRS points you are eligible for
  • • Improve your language test score
  • • Have your spouse as the principal applicant
  • • Obtain more education
  • • Obtain more work experience
  • • Study and work in Canada

Provincial Nomination Programs


Canada's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows provinces and territories to nominate skilled workers to live and work in their area. Some of the PNP programs include:

  • • Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
  • • Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program
  • • Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)
  • • Northwest Territories Nominee Program
  • • Manitoba PNP
  • • Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)

  • • Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
  • • Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
  • • Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)

This program includes specific provinces. The PNP nomination means that various provinces of Canada will choose and nominate various individuals who have signed in to immigrate and wish to settle down in a particular place in Canada. Every Canadian province and territory has its unique PNP program with respect to the Express Entry immigration.
