Express Entry Canada Immigration Program was introduced in January 2015 in the IRCC system for Canadian immigration. This program is designed for the selection of workers who are looking to migrate to Canada for financial stability.
This is an entirely online process that involves the federal government, provincial governments, and employers in Canada. This new Canadian immigration selection system strives to eliminate all the complicated processes involved in immigration.
