What is Express Entry?
Canada is an immigrant-friendly country. More and more people are choosing to move to Canada. Immigration to Canada plays a vital role in the growth of the country.
Express Entry is an online system that we use to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers.
There are three federal immigration programs :
- the Federal Skilled Worker Program,
- the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
- the Canadian Experience Class.
If you are looking to move to Canada through an Express Entry program, you must check whether you are eligible to apply or not. Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score depends on your work, education, age, and official language ability, among other things.
