Immigrate to Canada - Express Entry Guide
Express Entry 2024
The Express Entry system is one of Canada’s most efficient and sought-after immigration pathways, designed to attract skilled workers who can contribute to the country's economy. As a streamlined, points-based system, Express Entry offers eligible candidates a fast-track route to permanent residency.
At Top Nation Immigration Services, we are committed to providing expert guidance throughout the entire process, ensuring that you have the best chance of success in your journey to becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
What is Express Entry
Express Entry is an online system that manages applications for three major economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.
The system uses a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank candidates based on factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency through regular draws.
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is the backbone of the Express Entry process. Your CRS score is calculated based on factors such as:
- Core / Human Capital Factors: Age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.
- Skill Transferability Factors: Education and work experience combined with language skills.
- Additional Factors: Includes a job offer, provincial nomination, or Canadian education experience.
