Canada's Express Entry System

 


Canada's Express Entry system is a method for skilled workers to apply for permanent residence. It covers three main programs:

  1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  2. Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  3. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)


How Scoring Works

When candidates create a profile, they receive a score out of 1200 points based on:

  • Age
  • Education
  • Language skills
  • Work experience


Additional Points

Candidates can earn up to 600 extra points for:

  • Having a sibling who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  • French language ability
  • Canadian post-secondary education
  • Job offer (arranged employment)
  • Provincial/territorial nomination


Upcoming Change

Starting spring 2025, candidates will no longer receive points for job offers.This change aims to reduce fraud in the system
