Qualifications for Canada Express Entry - Permanent Residence Application
Express Entry (EE) is the fastest way for foreign workers to become a Canadian Permanent Resident. Express Entry was launched by the Canadian Government on January 1, 2015 to select skilled immigrants as Permanent Residents to Canada based on their likelihood to successfully settle in Canada and adapt to living as a Canadian.
Express Entry is a points based system used to manage applications for Permanent Residence under three federal economic immigration programs
