Express Entry is an online system that IRCC use to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers.

Your Express Entry profile is where you give information about yourself. If you’re eligible, you will be accepted into the pool of candidates. You’ll be ranked in the Express Entry pool using a points-based system. Your score is based on the information in your profile.

An invitation to apply will be sent to candidates with the highest scores in the pool. If you are invited to apply, you’ll have 60 days to submit your application for permanent residence.

Most complete applications that have all the supporting documents are processed in 6 months or less by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
