Express entry is an electronic/online system used by the Canadian government to provide permanent residence. Before now, Canada operated a first come, first serve application system, and successful candidates needed to wait for several years to get permanent resident visa. Express entry was introduced to facilitate this process.

Canada offers over 100 different streams of obtaining a Canadian permanent resident visa for skilled workers. Some of them have been explained here https://www.tolucanadianimmigration.com/blog


Express entry consists of two major phases:

1. Eligible candidates indicate interest for express entry.

2. The highest scoring candidates are invited by the Canadian government to immigrate.


Interested candidates submit an online profile on IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) website, and the federal government determines the eligibility of the candidate. Eligible candidates are a

ccepted into the express entry pool after receiving a CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score. CRS score is a point based system used to assess and rank candidates in the express entry pool. It is calculated based on the candidates' age, education, work experience, language skill and other factors.

Candidates with the highest CRS scores are provided with an ITA (Invitation To Apply) for permanent residence. CRS scores can be increased by obtaining a Canadian job offer, obtaining professional work experience, proving higher English or French test score, provincial nomination, study in Canada and so on.


An express entry profile can be valid for up to a year. If, after this time, a candidate does not receive an ITA, they can resubmit their profile, if they are still eligible. However, if found ineligible, the candidate needs to create a new profile because an ineligible profile is no longer valid, so it can't be changed, even with new information. To be eligible for express entry, a candidate must meet the criteria of at least one of the federal economic immigration programs.


To increase the chances of getting a high CRS score and eventually getting an ITA to submitting a complete application for permanent residence and lastly receiving a confirmation of permanent resident visa; A candidate needs an experienced and trustworthy immigration specialist that can maximize their chances of succeeding under express entry. We provide guidance, walk you through the process, and ensure you don't make mistakes or misrepresent your Canadian immigration application.
