Express Entry

Express Entry is an algorithm (online system) that we use to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers.

Step 1: Find out if you’re eligible

There are two ways to find out if you’re eligible for a program that is part of Express Entry:

  • Answer a few questions to see if you meet the minimum requirements.
  • Read the detailed requirements for each program.

Step 2: Get your documents ready

You need documents, such as language test results, to show that you’re eligible for Express Entry. Some documents take a long time to get, so you should get them ready now.

Get the documents you need.

Step 3: Submit your profile

Your Express Entry profile is where you give us information about yourself.

If you’re eligible, Government of Canada will accept you into their pool of candidates.

You’ll be ranked in the Express Entry pool using a points-based system. Your score is based on the information in your profile.

Check your score.

Step 4: Receive an invitation and apply for permanent residence

Invitations to apply are sent to the candidates with the highest scores in the pool. If you are invited you to apply, you’ll have 60 days to submit your application for permanent residence.
