EXPRESS ENTRY
Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to manage immigration applications from skilled workers. It oversees three main programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. Applicants create an online profile and are ranked based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Those with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residency. This system aims to expedite the immigration process, with most applications processed within six months or less.
