Eligible candidates are based on a score awarded for factors including age, education, skilled work experience and proficiency in English or French and a set number of the highest-ranked are through regular invitation rounds.

Express Entry candidates with are issued an additional 600 points toward their ranking score, effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
