What makes Express Entry an ideal permanent pathway to Canada?

A lot of aspiring immigrants dream to move to Canada and become a part of Canadian labour force. It is indeed one of the most open countries worldwide and is known for high living standards, beautiful landscapes, multicultural society and much more.

To add further, Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver have been consistently ranked among world’s most livable cities in terms of living standard, safety and security, eco-friendliness, and other parameters.

However, until the year 2015, the process to moving to Canada was not only lengthy but a lot more challenging as well. To keep the things simpler, the IRCC (Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada) replaced the “first-come, first-serve” selection system with a much-advanced Express Entry System.

Choosing Express Entry Pathway

The aspiring individuals and families who wish to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents often choose the Express Entry System. It is a fast-paced application management system run by the IRCC (Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada) under which the authorities select skilled foreign workers to apply for Canada PR.

Under Express Entry, the applicants are selected based on their age, skills, education, work experience, language ability, and other such factors.

It manages PR applications under following economic immigration programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSTP)
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Faster processing times

In comparison to Canada’s older cumbersome selection system, Express Entry is an incredibly fast and efficient application processing system. Once an applicant submits an Express Entry profile, the IRCC automatically evaluates, score and rank each profile in the pool of candidates, using a points-based system known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Under CRS, the IRCC awarded scores to all the applicants on the basis of their age, skills, education, English or French language ability, skilled work experience and other such factors. Moreover, the applicants can also claim additional points if they have Canadian degrees, certificates or diplomas, a provincial nomination certificate from a Canadian province or a territory,a valid job offer from any Canadian employer, etc.
