Express Entry

Express Entry is the online system Canada uses to manage applications for several skilled-worker permanent-residence programs. Candidates receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on age, education, language ability, and work experience; the highest-ranked are invited to apply.

For Pakistani applicants, language test scores (IELTS/CELPIP) and Educational Credential Assessments (ECA) are usually decisive factors in the CRS score.
