Table of Contents

Overview

Express Entry is the system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers under three federal programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) Canadian Experience Class (CEC) If you’re eligible for one of these programs, you can create an Express Entry profile and enter the pool of candidates. Top-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular IRCC draws.
