Express Entry

Express Entry is not a new immigration program; it is however a new application management tool implemented by Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC). All applicants eligible under the following programs must first create an Express Entry profile :

• Federal Skilled Worker
• Federal Skilled Trades Worker
• Canadian Experience Class
• Provincial Nominee Program (not applicable to all PNP applicants)

Once a profile has been created it will enter the Express Entry pool and given a ranking score out of 1200 points. CIC will then select, during regular draws, the top ranking profiles and send those an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Applicants then have 60 days to submit their formal application. CIC has promised to process these applications within 6 months.

Profile ranking scores (max 1200 points)

• A maximum of 600 points are awarded for age, education, language proficiency, Canadian work experience and skills transferability.
• 600 points are awarded for a Canadian job offer supported by a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). An LMIA is to obtained by the Canadian employer.
