What is Express Entry Canada?
Express Entry Canada is not a new immigration program, rather it is a way for Canada to better manage all economic immigration programs. It is designed to assist employers and provinces to connect with applicants who have the required skills and experience to adapt and establish themselves in Canada.
Canadian Express Entry Steps
You must first meet the selection criteria of one of the four programs.
The second step is to have the proof that you meet the requirements of these programs. Your language test results, educational credential evaluations, and your reference letters from your previous employers confirming your past work experience, must all be in the format required by CIC.
Once an application has been completed you will be ranked according to CIC’s new Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). If your application is inaccurate you will be found guilty of misrepresentation and be barred from entering Canada for 5 years.
The new Comprehensive Ranking System is based on a 1200 point ranking system which takes into account your personal characteristics and skills transferability factors. All candidates will then be ranked against each other. The most highly weighted factors are securing a validated job offer from a Canadian employer with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a Nomination Certificate from a Canadian Provincial or Territorial Immigration Office.
