How Express Entry works?

In order to enter the pool of candidates, you must be eligible for one of the three programs. Inside the pool, you'll be awarded with points based on the information you share on the profile, like your age, skills, educational qualification, work experience, etc.

To get selected from the pool and obtain an invitation to apply, you must be the one among highest-ranking candidates. If you get an invitation, you will qualify to apply for permanent residence.
