The current pass mark is 67 points.

Once you are in the Express Entry pool, a different system is used to rank your profile and the highest-ranking candidates from the pool are selected and invited to apply for permanent residence.

​

Canadian Experience Class- The Canadian Experience class is for skilled workers who have Canadian work experience and want to become permanent residents.

​

Federal Skilled Trades Program- The Federal Skilled Trades Programs is for skilled workers who want to become permanent residents based on being qualified in a skilled trade.

If you are eligible for one of the above programs, you can also apply through Express Entry for the Provincial Nominee program. If you are nominated, you'll get extra points so you can be invited to apply quickly.
