What is Express Entry?
Introduced in 2015, the Express Entry system manages applications for three main programs: the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). It uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to assess candidates based on factors such as age, work experience, language skills, and occupation. Higher CRS scores increase a candidate's chances of receiving an ITA.
Types of Express Entry Draws
Express Entry draws can be general, program-specific, or category-based. General draws consider all candidates, while program-specific draws focus on particular programs like CEC, FSWP, or FSTP. In PNP-only draws, only candidates nominated through an Express Entry aligned stream of a PNP are considered.
Category-Based Selection
Introduced in 2023, category-based selection draws target candidates with specific skills or attributes needed in Canada's workforce. There are six categories:
1. Healthcare occupations
2. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions
3. Trade occupations (e.g., carpenters, plumbers)
4. Transport occupations
5. Agriculture and agri-food occupations
6. French-language proficiency
Meeting Federal Skilled Worker requirements
Gaining entry into Express Entry requires more than just meeting the minimum criteria. Success in this points-based system calls for a higher score, supported by the following core FSW prerequisites:
Work Experience: At least one year of continuous full-time skilled work experience, or an equivalent in part-time employment.
Education: Completion of high school education as a basic requirement.
Language Proficiency: Meeting or exceeding a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of Level 7 in English or French, indicating intermediate language ability.
FSW Points Grid: Accumulating at least 67 points based on criteria like language skills, education, work experience, and other factors.
FSW points system details
1. Language skills: Up to 24 points for your first language abilities, with the potential for additional points for a second language and your spouse or common-law partner’s language skills.
2. Educational background: A maximum of 25 points for your level of education.
3. Age: Federal skilled worker points for age are allocated as follows:
Individuals aged between 18 and 35 years are eligible for the maximum of 12 points.
The points decrease gradually with each additional year past 35:
36 years old receive 11 points,
37 years old get 10 points,
Those who are 38 years of age are awarded 9 points,
At 39 years, the points reduce to 8,
At 40 years, individuals receive 7 points,
Those aged 41 years are given 6 points,
At 42 years, the points further decrease to 5,

At 44 years, the points awarded are 3,
Those aged 45 years receive 2 points,
At 46 years, individuals are awarded 1 point,
Anyone aged 47 years or over does not receive any points for age.
4. Professional experience: Up to 15 points based on your work history.
5. Arranged employment: Gaining up to 10 points for secured employment in Canada under specific conditions.
6. Adaptability: A maximum of 10 points for assessing you and your family's potential to settle well in Canada.
