Understand the three programs

Express Entry manages the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program and Federal Skilled Trades Program. Entering the pool does not guarantee an invitation.

Prepare before creating a profile

Start with your occupation and duties, language test results and education records. Check whether an educational credential assessment is required. Verify program-specific work experience, funds and admissibility requirements.

Your next step

Use IRCC’s current CRS tool and program instructions. A score is not an approval prediction. Ask a professional to review gaps or complicated status history.
