Canada Express Entry is an electronic system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. It works by having candidates create an online profile demonstrating they meet eligibility criteria like work experience, language ability, and education. Regular Express Entry draws then invite qualified candidates to apply for permanent residence. To prepare, individuals must take language tests, get credentials assessed, and create a resume and reference letters. There is no deadline to create a profile initially or limit on the number of candidates that can be selected in a draw.
