Express Entry is a points-based immigration system that enables skilled workers to apply for Permanent Residence in Canada. It manages applications under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class.

• The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is for skilled workers with foreign experience, requiring at least 1 year of work in a skilled occupation and proof of funds unless you have a job offer.
• The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) targets those in skilled trades with 2 years of experience and either job offers or provincial certification, also needing proof of funds.
• The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is for applicants with 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada and language proficiency, but no proof of funds is required.
