Express Entry in Manitoba
Express Entry is the main source of filling in the labor markets gaps and the best way to obtain the Canadian PR status. The Express Entry system handles applications for three immigration programs: namely Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class. Once a candidate gets eligible under any one of these programs then they are awarded a CRS score calculated the basis of clients personal details like age, work experience, education, language proficiency etc.. High scoring candidates who are able to match the cut offs are then issued invitations to apply their dream of Canada PR through regular Express Entry draws.
