Express Entry is an online system managed by Canadian Government to receive and issue invitation to apply for Permanent Residence to Canada under federal and certain provincial program, as below:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW)
• Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST)
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
• Some Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

• CREATE EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE
• SUBMIT THE PROFILE TO THE EXPRESS ENTRY POOL
• RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO APPLY
• APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE WITHIN 60 DAYS

Candidates who have submitted their Express of Interest through Express Entry will be ranked based on the points-based system called Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). There will be different cut off point each invitation rounds, depending on the points and rankings of current candidates in the pool.

Looking at the data from previous invitation rounds can give candidates a better idea of how many points they should have, and their chance of being invited.

The numbers in this table reflect the total number of people in the pool overall, a few days before an invitation round. The score distribution may change as people submit new profiles and other profiles expire.

The table numbers not in bold are a detailed breakdown of the bold number immediately above.
