Canada Express Entry system in recent time has witnessed an increased number of women scoring high points in draws. Many of the women who apply are becoming principal applicants with very high CRS scores.
This is a great improvement and a big boost for women coming to Canada. It also goes a long way to show an increasing number of women obtaining scores way above 350 and 400.
Candidates in the express entry pool are scored and ranked ahead of one another. The candidate with the highest score is then nominated to apply for permanent residence.
Immigrants who wish to migrate to Canada will have to show interest by submitting an expression of interest. Candidate must have an active express entry profile and then make their interest known to the province they wish to migrate to.
