How does Express Entry work?
According to IRCC, Express Entry is an online system used to manage applications from skilled workers. You create a profile, enter the pool, and IRCC invites the candidates with the most points in rounds, based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
What is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)?
PNPs let provinces and territories nominate people who have the skills, education and work experience their economy needs and who want to live there. Each province sets its own requirements. According to IRCC, if you are nominated and have an Express Entry profile, you get 600 extra points.
