Express Entry program is a point-based immigration system that facilitates skilled professionals to apply for Canada PR. It is one of the fastest immigration pathways to obtain PR. The factors that affect your Express Entry profile are age, language proficiency, work experience, and others. The Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws help the provinces to select skilled workers who can fulfill the economic and labour needs. For example – a province might focus on certain occupations such as IT, healthcare, or construction.
Currently, 80% of Canada PR applications under the Express Entry program are being processed within 6 months.
