Express Entry

As of April 2014 the Government has announced a new Express Entry system expected to commence as of January 1, 2014. There are two steps. First, immigrants are to indicate their interest in coming to Canada by providing information electronically about their skills, work experience, and other biographical information. Express Entry will be a mandatory first step in the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). In addition, provinces and territories have the option to use Express Entry to identify additional provincial nominees for the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) over and above their provincial nomination allocations to an overall and by-jurisdiction limit. Individuals who meet certain eligibility criteria will have an expression of interest placed in a pool and be ranked against others already in the pool. 

Express Entry uses a new electronic system to manage applications for permanent residence in certain economic programs. Express Entry allows Canadian employers to actively recruit, assess and select skilled immigrants under the following federal economic immigration programs:
  • the Federal Skilled Worker Program,
  • the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
  • the Canadian Experience Class.
Provinces and territories may recruit candidates from the Express Entry system for a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs to meet local labour market needs. Under this new system, employers also have a key role in selecting economic immigrants. Employers may access candidates through Canada's new and improved Job Bank and through provinces and territories where applicable.
