Express Entry

The Express Entry system is used by the Canadian federal government as an application management tool to track immigration applications for three major programs. All three of these programs are part of Canada's immigration system's "economic immigration" umbrella. 

  • The Federal Skilled Worker Programme (FSWP), 
  • The Federal Skilled Trade Programme (FSTP), and 
  • The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)


Under this application management system, there are two types of Express Entry draws.

  1. The first commonly referred to as the standard express entry draw, is the entry pool that has existed since the express entry system was introduced in 2015. The process for these draws begins when a candidate who is eligible for one of the system's three programs enters the Express Entry pool. Each candidate is given a CRS score, which is used to rank candidates against each other. Then, a predetermined number of people with CRS scores higher than the cut-off score for a specific Express Entry draw will receive an ITA for Permanent Residence in Canada.


Please keep in mind that CRS scores are calculated using a variety of human capital factors such as work experience, professional skills, language skills, education, and age, all of which have objective values assigned by IRCC.

  1. The other type of Express entry draws employ a category-based selection system to assist IRCC in welcoming prospective immigrants with characteristics or skills that can meet specific labor market needs in Canada that have not been met. For the year 2023, IRCC will emphasize category-based draws to prioritize Express Entry candidates who possess the following characteristics.
  • French-language proficiency or


Recent work experience in sector-specific projects:

  • Healthcare
  • STEM professions
  • Trades
  • Transport
  • Agriculture and agri-food


If you did not receive an invitation in the most recent Express Entry Draw, keep in mind that Parent Super Visa is still a viable and reassuring option, especially with the added security of Parent Super Visa insurance.  So, if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you do not need to be concerned; you can bring your parents to Canada by applying for a super visa and presenting medical proof of super visa insurance. 


There is no need to consider insurance providers because Parent Super Visa provides the best super visa insurance.
