Published On: July 21, 2015Express Entry is a new online immigration application management system designed to make the Canadian immigration process simpler and quicker. The system launched on January 1, 2015 and has since issued approximately 14,000 invitations to apply for permanent residency in Canada.
Express Entry manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class. Provinces and territories can also use the Express Entry system to select a portion of candidates for their Provincial Nominee Programs in order to meet local labour market needs.
Employers in Canada must first make every effort to try and find a Canadian or permanent resident to fill vacant job opportunities. Eligible employers who cannot find a Canadian or permanent resident for a permanent job will be able to consider candidates from the pool who meet their needs.
