1 January 2015 EXPRESS ENTRY The Express Entry Program Presented by Canreach Immigration Canada Welcomes You, Canreach Opens The Door

2 In January 2015 Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will launch a new electronic system called Express Entry to manage applications for permanent residence in certain economic programs. Canada needs high levels of immigration to meet current and future labour market needs, which will ensure our economic growth and long-term prosperity.

3 Express Entry will allow the government to actively recruit, assess and select skilled immigrants under the following federal economic immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program Federal Skilled Trades Program Canadian Experience Class Under this new system, employers will also have a key role in selecting economic immigrants. Employers will access candidates through Canada s new and improved Job Bank and through provinces and territories where applicable.

4 Stage One: Application Candidates will complete an Online Profile where they will provide information about their skills, work experience, language ability, education, and other details. Those who meet the criteria of one of the federal economic immigration programs subject to Express Entry will be placed in a pool of candidates Candidates will be ranked against others in the pool. Only the highestranked candidates (those deemed to have the best chances for economic success) will be invited to apply for permanent residence.

5 Stage Two: Selection Citizenship and Immigration Canada will invite certain candidates; those who are highest ranked, to apply for permanent residence and will process their electronic applications within 1 6 MONTHS! Express Entry will result in faster and more efficient service to potential skilled immigrants. It will also allow the Government of Canada to be more flexible and responsive to Canada s changing economic conditions and priorities. Upon invitation, candidates will have 60 days to submit their electronic online application for permanent residence.
