Hi Raj and Stanlee
I am bit confused. some people talk about 67 points out of 100 we need get in order to apply for Federal skilled immigrant program and there is this CRS point system out of 1200.
Are both the part of same procedure or two different procedures.
I got 75 points out of 100 on the other hand i got 400 out of 1200 from CRS system. Which one is the right one ??
What should i pursue, please suggest.
Thank you
Abhay
Adding to what Raj has mentioned, Express Entry is a completely electronic process involving the federal government, provincial governments, and Canadian employers where the stakeholders propose to help an applicant to migrate to Canada within 6 months through any of the following modes.
1. Direct invite or ITA (where CRS score is 460+)
2. Provincial nomination like OINP and others except Quebec
3. LMIA approved job offer
The CRS score (460+) will help you to get a direct invite rather than going through the long process of provincial nomination. The provincial nomination will add 600 points to your CRS score and make you eligible to receive an ITA and similary for LMIA approved job offer. In all the cases you either fall into FSWP or CEC and if you fall under FSWP you still have to go through the 67/100 points scoring as per FSWP. So in other words, Express Entry is the universal set and FSWP is a subset.
If you need your file to be processed quickly, go the Express Entry route. Paper based PR takes longer than Express Entry.
