Additional Information
Express Entry System:
All three immigration programs are managed under the Express Entry system—a points-based application management system for permanent residence. Candidates are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which evaluates factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills.
Application Process:
Applicants must create an online profile in the Express Entry system. Those who meet the eligibility criteria for one of the programs and achieve a competitive CRS score may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
