Express Entry October Draw 2022

Express Entry is a system set up by the Canadian Government for foreign people to get PR. It is a score-based system, and the Government selects the candidates from the pool with high express entry CRS scores. And there are three streams within the express entry through which candidates can apply:

• The Federal Skilled Workers Program
• The Federal Skilled Trades Program
• The Canadian Experience Class

Apart from these three categories, there is one more stream named Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Through this, people can get nominations from a particular province. And they can get the PR of that province and then they need to work over there. The provinces or territories will nominate those candidates whom they think are good for the economy of the province. Moreover, this is beneficial for candidates in the pool as it will give them additional 600 CRS points.

Also, the eligibility criteria are different for all the categories. The candidates can check if they can meet the requirements for any one of these streams and can apply for PR. They can apply by creating an online profile. And for this, they need to provide some basic information like your skills, work experience, and education. After creating your profile, you need to wait in the express entry pool for ITA. And after receiving ITA, you require to submit all the documents for inquiry.
