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.
