Desire to Migrate
Express Entry
Express Entry is Canada’s flagship application management system for its key economic immigration programs. Potential candidates express their interest in immigrating to Canada by first completing an online profile. The profile is electronically screened to determine if the candidate meets the criteria of at least 1 of the 3 federal immigration programs mentioned on this page. Using the same information, candidates are given a comprehensive ranking system score. They are then placed in the express entry pool and ranked relative to each other based on their CRS scores. The pool is dynamic and a candidate’s rank can change as other candidates join and leave the pool, or when the ranking criteria are adjusted according to ministerial instructions. CRS score can also change as a candidate’s circumstances change, for example, a candidate gains more experience or is nominated by a province or territory. Other top-ranked candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence. They are given 90 days to submit their documents. These documents are then evaluated by the Immigration department and the advice is rendered. We help you understand and prepare for each step of the process.
Before we discuss in detail, we wish you to be familiar with what NOC codes and Canadian Level Benchmark mean.
Canadian Level Benchmark (CLB)
The CLB is the Canadian standard used to describe, measure, and recognizes English language ability of adult immigrants and prospective immigrants who plan to live and work in Canada, or apply for citizenship namely Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening.
National Occupation Classification (NOC) Code
The NOC is a list of all the occupations in the Canadian labor market. It describes each job according to skill type and skill level. For immigration purposes, these are the main job groups:
- Skill Type 0 (zero): Management jobs
- Skill Level A: Professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university
