Federal Economic Immigration Programs
In general, Express Entry is an application management system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to receive profiles and process through three Canadian Federal Economic Immigration programs for skilled workers.

How Express Entry Canada Works
Canada Immigration Express Entry selection system uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank and select individuals who are eligible to immigrate to Canada under three federal economic immigration programs.
Candidates in the pool are assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System score out of 1,200. Once the profile submits in the pool, it ranks based on age, education, work experience language, and other major factors against each other and invites the highest-ranking candidates to apply for Canada Permanent Residency.
After getting an Invitation To Apply (ITA), the applicant has to submit the visa application along with all required documents with 60 days. Express Entry profile is valid for 1 year and if the applicant didn’t receive ITA so the profile will expire.
