Permanent residency is a type of immigration status in Canada. In order to become a permanent resident, a person must go through an immigration program. The most popular immigration pathway for permanent residents is economic immigration, which includes the Express Entry System, though a lot of permanent residents are also�sponsored by their spouse or parent�who already has status in Canada.

Express Entry� System

Express Entry is a system to organize and process applications for people who wish to immigrate to Canada and acquire�Canadian permanent residence. Express Entry is used to process the majority of�Canadian immigration�applications for skilled and qualified workers who want to come to Canada.

Express Entry is an application management system for three major Canadian economic immigration programs:

  1. Federal Skilled Worker�(FSW)
  2. Federal Skilled Traders�(FST)
  3. Canadian Experience Class�(CEC)

If one is �eligible to apply to any of these programs, he/she can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), often referred to as a profile, to the Express Entry system. Once his/her profile is submitted, he/she is automatically assigned a�Comprehensive Ranking System�(CRS) score.

Approximately every two weeks, the Canadian government conducts a draw where they issue�invitations to apply�(ITAs) for Canadian permanent residence to the highest-ranking profiles in the pool of Express Entry candidates.

Upon receiving an ITA, candidates can then submit a complete application for Canadian permanent residence, which will be processed within four to six months.
