[lindaferns23]

What are the points one requires to enter in this program?

How does this process work?

I was told it is 452? Is it so?

first you need 67 out of 100 to qualify for Express entry thru FSW https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers/six-selection-factors-federal-skilled-workers.html

Check you eligibility here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/come-canada-tool.html

once you're eligible you can create you profile for which you will be given a CRS score . then it works like a lucky draw. every two weeks CiC announces a cut-off and everyone with a score above the cut-off needs to submit their application for PR. basically higher your CRS, faster your chance of getting thru the draw. the latest cut-off on 20th dec was 446 points https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/rounds-invitations.html

you can get an idea of how much your CRS can be by answering few qs here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp?_ga=2.64484655.1838045057.1514120500-1249469089.1511696807
