Find out if you are eligible to apply
Do you want to live permanently in Canada and work in a skilled job?
Answer a few simple questions to see if you might be able to apply for Express Entry.
Express Entry has three ways for people to move to Canada, but each one needs different things. It’ll take about 10 to 15 minutes to fill out this form.
They’ll ask you things like:
- nationality
- age
- language ability
- family members
- education
- work experience
- available funds
- details on any job offer
After you answer, they’ll tell you if you might be able to apply for Express Entry. Then, they’ll give you a list of things to do next, like filling out a form online.
Based on this profile, if you meet the requirements, you will be put in a pool of candidates for immigration, and possibly invited to apply to immigrate.
