Express Entry / Points-Based Immigration

Canada's Express Entry system uses a points-based (CRS) score to select skilled applicants for permanent residency.

Who This Is For

Points-based systems rank skilled workers by factors like age, education, work experience, and language ability, inviting the highest-scoring candidates to apply for permanent residency. Common situations include:

  • Skilled professionals with in-demand qualifications
  • Applicants with strong language test scores
  • Younger applicants with several years of work experience
  • Candidates with a validated job offer that adds to their score
  • Provincial or regional nomination applicants seeking extra points

Documents You'll Typically Need

Requirements vary by the specific points-based program, but generally include:

  • Valid passport
  • Educational credential assessment, where required
  • Language test results (e.g. IELTS or equivalent)
  • Work experience references and employment letters
  • Proof of settlement funds
  • Police clearance certificates
  • Medical examination results
