Check Your Express Entry EligibilityCanada uses the Express Entry system to process and monitor permanent residency applications of immigrants around the world. Overseas skilled professionals who want to permanently migrate to Canada can apply through the Express Entry's streams of immigration for fastest processing of their PR visa. There are three pathways for immigration under the Express Entry:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

The Canada Express Entry system employs a points-based system to invite qualified candidates who want to immigrate to Canada. Points are given to foreign workers using a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). These points are given to candidates based on their credentials, experience, work status in Canada, and provincial nomination. More points increase your chances of receiving an invitation to apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence.

Before being taken into consideration for the Express Entry program, applicants must first satisfy the CRS criteria, which calls for a score of 67 points. You must meet the CRS cut-off in order to be given consideration for an invitation to apply. Based on the Express Entry points system, there is a minimum cut-off score for each Express Entry draw. Applicants will often acquire an ITA if their CRS score is equal to or higher than the cut-off. The applicant who has been in the pool the longest wins out if two applicants with the same cut-off score.
