Canada’s Express Entry system manages the profiles of candidates for three of Canada’s main economic-class immigration programs — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.
Candidates are ranked based on a score awarded under Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System that considers factors such as age, education, skilled work experience and language ability in English or French.
