What is the Express Entry draw?

An “Express Entry draw” is used by the Canadian government to decide who receives an invitation to apply for permanent residency through Express Entry. It selects the highest-ranking candidates from the applications received. How you rank as a candidate is based on a number of different factors. Find out how your Express Entry application is ranked here.

With the Express Entry draws to be reopening soon, anyone who wants to apply for immigration in Canada should get their application in now, to be in with a chance of an invitation.

To be invited to submit an Express Entry application, you need a specific score on the Comprehensive Ranking System. You can estimate your score here: CRS Tool: Estimate your ranking score .

Step 3: Book an IELTS language test & prepare your documents

If you haven’t yet taken an English language test, you should book an IELTS test right away as you will need proof of your results for the application.

Once you have everything you need for your application, you must create & submit “a profile” to see if it gets accepted to the Express Entry draw. You can create and submit your Express Entry profile here: Create Express Entry Profile .
