What Kind Of Newcomers Submit Applicant Profiles Through Express Entry?
Canada invites applicants in the latest Express Entry draw. Every year, newcomers from over 100 different countries submit applicant profiles through Canada’s Express Entry system.
Canada does not select skilled worker applicants through Express Entry based on their country of origin.
Instead, the country evaluates them based on their potential to succeed in the Canadian job market. This is done using the CRS, which scores applicants on factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other human capital attributes.
As a result, Express Entry attracts individuals from around the world with diverse skill sets and occupational backgrounds.
