On July 20 this year, the country has already sent an invitation to 1,750 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence. For now, Canada is now on schedule to accept 55,900 immigrants in 2022, and, by 2024, the goal will soar to 1,11,500.
A quick look at how Express Entry works
There are a total of three immigration programs that are managed through the Canadian Express Entry.
1) Canadian Experience Class (CEC):- Aspirants who have Canadian employment experience (gained three years before application) can now apply through this method. Usually, international students living in Canada take this route to apply for PR.
2) Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP):- People with foreign working experience can apply through Express Entry under this program. Under this, factors like age, education, employment history etc are considered for the permanent residency of the country.
3) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): Workers who have skills in construction, agriculture, and manufacturing can apply under this category.

Step 4: If you are eligible, you will be added to the pool of candidates and given a CSR score. Submit your profile.
Step 5: The candidates with the highest CSR scores will be sent applications to apply for the Canadian permanent residency. If you get an invite, then submit your application within 60 days.
Earlier this month, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) had invited a total of 1,500 candidates to apply for a PR, including those under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) first time since December 2020.
