The Express Entry program provides a pathway for foreign nationals to migrate to Canada as permanent residents or for those already in the country on non-immigrant visas to gain permanent legal status.
Express Entry draws are typically held every two weeks, with a minimum score set for each draw. The score is based on factors such as age, education, skills, work experience, family ties to Canada, and proficiency in either English or French.
