Canada has launched Express Entry in 2015, an electronic system to help potential immigrants apply to eligible programs more efficiently. Candidates create an Express Entry profile with details like age, work experience, and language ability. Higher ranked profiles are placed in a pool and selected regularly to receive Invitation to Apply for permanent residence. This new system aims to process applications faster within 6 months compared to 12-14 months previously, and gives all candidates an equal chance to find Canadian jobs before arriving. Eligible candidates must be aged 17-45, have minimum language and education levels, and 1+ years of work experience.
