What is the Express Entry system?

The Express Entry system manages applications for skilled workers under three categories - Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Applicants are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) based on age, education, experience, and language proficiency. Regular draws invite top-ranking candidates to apply for permanent residence. It’s a fast and transparent process, often completed within a few months.
