Express Entry statisctics
Express Entry is a Canadian immigration program designed to facilitate the process for skilled workers who wish to become permanent residents of Canada. Launched in 2015, it uses a comprehensive ranking system to evaluate candidates based on factors like age, education, language proficiency, and work experience. This system enables Canadian authorities to select individuals who are most likely to succeed economically in Canada.
Express Entry manages applications for three key economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. Candidates submit an online profile, which is then entered into a pool. Those with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residency through regular draws from the pool. This efficient and streamlined process reflects Canada's commitment to welcoming skilled talent from around the world and addressing labor market needs.
