The Express Entry Canada program selects educated and skilled immigrants based on a points system.

Points are awarded for a candidates age, education and other Express Entry Canada program selection factors.

Applicants submit their profile to an Express Entry Canada program pool. Candidates that are above the points threshold, based on Federal Economic programs for immigration to Canada are invited to apply for Canadian permanent residency.

In the past, Express Entry points threshold depended on a job offer in Canada (Labour Market Impact Assessment). However, as the points come down, Canadian permanent residency is more attainable without the need for a LMIA. The lowest Express Entry cut off score seen up until now is draw 13 with 451 points drawn on July 17, 2015. Moreover, the draw dates are coming more frequently.
