Express Entry: Heart of Canada’s Immigration System

The Express Entry system is one of the best immigration programs internationally. It was introduced in 2015 to fast-track the processing times for immigrant visa applications. The Express Entry allows new immigrants to apply for Canadian permanent residence through the following three economy class programs:

Apart from these three programs, the nine provinces and two territories of Canada have at least one express entry-aligned immigration stream belonging to their Provincial Nominee Programs through which a candidate can apply for permanent residence in a particular province or territory. The Express Entry system works for the benefit of all four: the federal government, the provincial government, the employers, and most importantly, the Canadian immigrants.
