Express Entry profile and application support

Express Entry manages profiles for several federal economic programs. Small profile errors can affect your ranking or the validity of an invitation, so accuracy matters from the first entry.

Overview

Understanding express entry

Express Entry is an application management system rather than a program on its own. Candidates are assessed for the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades programs.

We review your work history, language results and education, explain how the ranking factors apply to you, and prepare the supporting evidence expected after an invitation.

Immigration programs, requirements, processing procedures and timelines may change. Visitors should verify current requirements through official Government of Canada sources or discuss their individual circumstances with a qualified professional.
