Alberta Express Entry Stream

The Express Entry system of Canada manages applications for immigration under the three economic immigration programs of Canada, which are the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program and Federal Skilled Trades Program. Under the Express Entry system, candidates are assessed and ranked on the basis of Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The score is awarded on the basis of various human capital factors such as age, education, work experience and language ability. Those with the highest score are invited apply for permanent residence in Canada in the federal Express Entry draws that are conducted regularly. Those candidates with a provincial nomination receive 600 additional CRS score points. It means, if a candidate with a CRS score of 350 who has received an invitation in the latest draw receives a nomination, their total CRS score will be 950. This places them in a better position to receive an invitation.
