1. Express Entry System:

• The Express Entry system is a points-based immigration system used by the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residency under economic immigration programs.
• The three main programs managed through Express Entry are the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

2. Eligibility Criteria:

• To be eligible for Express Entry, you must meet certain criteria related to age, education, language proficiency (English and/or French), work experience, and adaptability factors.
• You will need to undergo language testing (IELTS for English and/or CELPIP for English, TEF for French) to demonstrate your proficiency.

3. Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS):

• Candidates in the Express Entry pool are assigned a CRS score based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other additional factors.
• Regular draws are conducted, and candidates with the highest CRS scores are invited to apply for permanent residency.

4. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs):

• In addition to the federal Express Entry system, some provinces and territories in Canada have their own immigration programs known as Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
• PNPs allow provinces to nominate individuals for permanent residency based on their specific labor market needs.

5. Application Process:

• If invited, you will need to submit a complete application for permanent residency within a specified time frame.
• You will undergo medical examinations and security checks.

6. Permanent Residency Status:

• Once your application is approved, you will be granted permanent resident status in Canada.
• Permanent residents have the right to live, work, or study anywhere in Canada and have access to social benefits.

7. Citizenship:

• After being a permanent resident for a certain period, you may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.
