Express Entry is Canada’s application management system for three immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Applicants who have self-determined that they are eligible for Express Entry will first indicate their interest in obtaining Canadian permanent resident status. Once a candidate submits an online profile, the federal government determines their eligibility for a program managed by Express Entry.
