Canada is one of the most developed nations of the world. It is on the ambitious path to take the
economy to the next level. The current availability of human resources does not match with that
of natural resources. Therefore, the federal government is issuing permanent residence status
through Canada Express Entry Program.
Moreover, the federal and provincial governments
are devising flexible policies. The aim is to meet the future demand of skilled labors and
skilled traders.
Canada Express entry system is one of the most popular gateways to get Canadian Permanent residence status. This system works to support the need of skilled work force for the growth of Canada Economy. In order to meet the demand of quality work force this system serves as a supply network.
This program works on fortnightly draw and has the following sub categories. As per the eligibility, an aspirant can apply under any one of these sub-categories. The result of the draw is based on the points calculated on comprehensive ranking score (CRS). The Sub-categories are as follows:

Canada. On the other hand, the other two programs are for those who, based on their trade skill,
wish to apply for permanent residence status from outside Canada and want to contribute to the
Canadian economy.
Next, an applicant’s minimum points should be 67 for submitting the
profile on IRCC . These 100 points are split into the following six parts:

submission of profile, the CRS becomes the deciding factor. Further, the applicants get their
CRS points out of their core (600) and additional points (600).
And, if the score comes
above the cut-off CRS; an invitation to apply (ITA) is issued. It paves the way for uploading
all the required documents. The waiting time is about six month which may culminate in the
issuance of COPR, a confirmation letter. Now, your wait for the PR is over. Once you receive
