Since January 2015 Canada Immigration has launched a new immigration point system named Canada Express Entry. The point system came up with 1200 points criteria which well-known as Canada Express Entry Points Calculator.
Before the year 2015, most of the Canada PR applications were paper-based which take a long time to process. Then express entry launch, as per the name it accelerates the applications and starts giving results in quick time. The purpose of this system is to make the application system easier and faster.
Previously, if the candidates wish to apply for any program then they need to do an individual process for each of them. This system has provided a single-window entry for all the programs.
However, still, there are some provinces where candidates need to file a separate Expression of Interest (EOI). For instance, Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program (SINP), Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), Prince Edward Island Nominee Program (PEI PNP), Quebec Skilled Worker Program.
Whereas, some provinces are still required to do paper-based application after getting a nomination from the provinces such as Alberta, Morden immigration Program, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia (AIPP), Prince Edward Island (AIPP), Newfoundland & Labrador.
The Express Entry is not any federal program but it is an online application system that affiliate with Federal Skilled Worker Program, (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP), Canadian Experience Program (CEC), Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP), Rural & Northern Immigration Pilot Program (RNIP), etc.
Candidates can make a common profile for all the programs which were not possible previously. However, as mentioned above, there are some provinces where a separate expression of interest needs to submit.
First of all, a person who wants to apply for Canada PR, need to understand the Canada PR Points Calculator and Canada Express Entry Points Calculator.
The calculator is based on the two kinds of point systems. The first one is considered as an eligibility points system and the second one is called a selection point. In the eligibility criteria, there is 100 points system 67 points are required to get eligible to Apply for Express Entry.
These points are covering the six selection factors which we will discuss further on. The second points table is the Canada Express Entry Points Calculator of 1200 points which are called selection points.
Usually, twice or sometimes thrice in a month, CIC declares the selection draws which are called the express entry draws. As per the recent draw on 18th November 2020, the CRS cut-off was 472 points.
The below given points table is the Canada PR eligibility base points table. It includes 100 points. To get eligible for the Canada Express Entry System the candidates need to achieve at least 67 points out of it.
