Express Entry is one of Canada’s main economic immigration systems leading to permanent residence.

Today, IRCC also conducts targeted draws based on the country’s economic priorities (specific occupations, Canadian work experience, French-speaking candidates, priority sectors).

The system includes three programs:

• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW)
• Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST)

Strategy, proper profile positioning, and selecting the appropriate category are now key determining factors.
