April 27, 2017 – The Canada Express Entry immigration system moved through many gears in 2016, as the federal government invited nearly 34,000 candidates to apply for Canada immigration.
The Express Entry immigration system was designed to allow better flexibility in the management of applications; rapidly respond to Canada's labour market needs while improving application processing times. It has achieved all three of these objectives. Thus, the Canada immigration model is arguably now at the forefront of global immigration systems.
Under Canada Express Entry, candidates are invited to apply under three federal economic programs. This includes the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class. Part of each Provincial Nomination Program is also covered under the Express Entry system.
Candidates who qualify under any of these programs may submit an application, "expression of interest" into the Express Entry pool. Candidates are given a score based on a range of factors (Comprehensive Ranking System), and are ranked against others in the pool. Those receiving the highest scores are given an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence, through periodic draws.
