The Express Entry System is an online immigration process used by the Government of Canada to manage applications for permanent residency. It is designed for skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada and is based on a points system that evaluates factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Candidates create a profile in the Express Entry pool, where they are ranked against others. The highest-ranking candidates receive invitations to apply for permanent residency during regular draws. This system aims to attract skilled individuals to meet Canada's labor market needs and support economic growth.
