What Is Express Entry?

Express Entry is an immigration system created by the IRCC to manage Canada PR applicants looking to work in Canada. This system allows applicants to apply for one of four categories which include the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), or a Provincial Nominee Program (PNPs). Each draw will be specific to one of these categories targeting qualified and eligible candidates within the Express Entry pool!


Fast Track Immigration Through PNPs

If you are interested in settling in a specific province, you may have a better chance and quicker results when applying for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This allows provinces and territories to nominate qualified candidates to work in that location. If you are working within an in-demand job, it could be even quicker! Learn more about Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
