A brief about Express Entry

The three federal high-skilled immigration programs named

The Canadian Express Class
The Federal Skilled Workers Program and
The Federal Skilled Trades Program

Are included under The Express Entry program.

A comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is created to sift multiple immigration applications to place the candidates on the basis of their age, educational qualification, work experience, language test scores, and a few more. Applicants who are able to manage to gather maximum scores become eligible to receive invitations to apply for PR through consistent Express Entry draws. It is probable that you receive a PR invitation by applying straight via Express Entry. Nevertheless, a provincial nominee gets you an edge of 600 CRS points which will in turn make sure you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in a subsequent Express Entry draw.
