Express Entry: Your Pathway to Canada
Express Entry immigration system, a fast-track pathway to becoming a permanent resident of Canada. Introduced by the Canadian government, this system manages applications for three economic immigration programs:​
​
This program is tailored for skilled workers who have gained Canadian work experience within the three years preceding their application.
In order to qualify for the CEC, you need to have at least 12 months of skilled work experience in Canada in the last three years before you apply. The work experience must be in a job listed under Skill Tier 0 (Managerial jobs) or Tier 1 (Professional jobs), Tier 2 (Technical jobs and skilled trades) Or Tier 3 on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC) list. The work experience can be gained in multiple jobs and doesn't have to be continuous, but it has to be full-time, meaning at least 30 hours a week.
You need to meet the language requirements for the Canadian Experience Class. This typically involves taking a language test like the IELTS for English and achieving a certain minimum score. The test measures your ability in four language abilities: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The exact score you need depends on the skill level of your job​​.
This is designed for skilled workers with foreign work experience who meet specific criteria related to education and other factors.

You must show that while working in your primary occupation, you performed the duties set out in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC. This includes all the essential duties and most of the main duties listed.
Your skilled work experience must be:
-

within the last 10 years
-
paid work (have been paid wages or earned commission—volunteer work or unpaid internships don’t count)
-
at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)—you can meet this in a few different ways:
-
full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full-time (1,560 hours)
-
equal amount in part-time work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
-
You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement
-
full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
Part-time work experience
Your skilled work experience must be paid work including paid wages or earned commission. We don’t count volunteer work or unpaid internships.
For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours. You can work more than 1 part-time job to get the hours you need to apply.
We don’t count any hours you work above 30 hours/week.
Student work experience
Work experience gained while you were studying may count towards your minimum requirements if the work:
-

Check your score: If eligible, your profile will be ranked in the Express Entry pool using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a points-based system used to assess and rank your profile.
-
Get your documents ready: Prepare necessary documents such as language test results and others, which may take some time to procure.
-
Fill out your profile: Provide your information in the Express Entry profile. If eligible, you'll be accepted into the candidate pool and assigned a CRS score.
