1. 快速通道是什么，而它又是如何运作的呢？
快速通道是一种用来处理下列经济类移民申请的新型方法：
联邦技术移民；
联邦技工移民；以及
加拿大经验类移民。
为了迎合当地劳动力市场需求，各省及地区将被允许从快速通道池子中一部分省提名项目的候选人中招募员工。
在快速通道项目中，达到以上项目标准的候选人将进入候选人池子。加拿大、省、领地政府以及加拿大雇主们得以在池子中挑选员工。
就一个空缺的工作岗位来说，加拿大雇主们首先要全力找寻一个加拿大公民或者加拿大永久居民。合格雇主若实在无法找到加拿大公民或者加拿大永久居民来完成该工作，则可以从池子中挑选他们需要的候选人了。
快速通道以及加拿大找工平台将使得加拿大合格的雇主与国外技术性人才更加轻易的与对方沟通联系，如此一来，一旦这些技术人员移民至加拿大，他们将可以更快地融入加拿大。
池子中高分的候选人们将得到申请邀请函（ITA）。
候选人们得分的方面主要包括：
一个工作邀请 或；
一个省/领地提名 或；
技术及经验——有助于候选人在加拿大成功与否的要素。
注：魁北克的省提名不受快速通道影响，魁北克将自主选择技术人员。（下同）
1. What is Express Entry and how does it work?
Express Entry is a new way of managing applications in a number of existing economic immigration programs:
Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
Canadian Experience Class.
Provinces and territories will also be able to recruit candidates from the Express Entry pool for a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in order to meet local labour market needs.
Through Express Entry, people who meet the criteria for one of these programs will be placed into a pool of candidates. The Government of Canada, provincial and territorial governments, and Canadian employers will be able to select people from this pool.
Employers in Canada must first make every effort to try and find a Canadian or permanent resident to fill vacant job opportunities. Eligible employers who cannot find a Canadian or permanent resident for a permanent job will be able to consider candidates from the pool who meet their needs.
Express Entry and the Government of Canada’s Job Bank will let eligible employers in Canada and skilled foreign nationals connect with one another more easily, making integration faster once immigrants arrive in Canada.
Candidates with the highest scores in the pool will be issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Candidates will be awarded points for:
a job offer and/or
a provincial/territorial nomination and/or
skills and experience – factors that contribute to success in Canada.
Note: The Province of Quebec does not use Express Entry. They select their own skilled workers. See Quebec-selected skilled workers to find out more.
2. 快速通道系统对加拿大有什么裨益？
为了确保加拿大的经济发展以及劳工市场需求，加拿大政府改革了其经济移民系统。
快速通道是此次改革的关键部分，其使得系统更快速更灵活。此系统将使得加拿大移民局接受、审理申请：
审理的更加快捷而有效；
更好地承担加拿大劳工市场的要求。
在快速通道系统中，我们将只接受那些得到我们邀请的特定经济移民项目的候选者的申请。这样可以确保申请不积压，同时可以确保那些可能成功移民的候选人（并不单单是依照他们上交申请的顺序）得以移民。
通过快速通道系统，大部分被邀申请移民的候选人将看到他们的永久居民的电子申请档在六个月内受理完成。这种等待时间的减少使得加拿大得以与其他同行国家并驾齐驱，吸引更好的技术类移民同时也借助他们的力量使得加拿大经济更加蓬勃。
2. How will the Express Entry system benefit Canada?
The Government of Canada is reforming its economic immigration system to ensure that Canada’s economic and labour market needs are met.
Express Entry is a key part of this. Its goal is to make the system faster and more flexible. It will improve how Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) accepts and processes applications, which will mean:
faster and more efficient processing; and
a better ability to respond to Canada’s labour market.
Under Express Entry, we will only accept applications from people we have invited to immigrate to Canada under certain economic immigration programs. This will prevent the growth of backlogs by ensuring that only the candidates who are most likely to succeed—not simply the first to submit their application—are able to apply to immigrate to Canada.
Most applicants who are invited to apply under the Express Entry system will see their electronic permanent residence applications processed within six months or less. This reduction in wait times will make it possible for Canada to keep pace with peer countries, attract the best skilled immigrants, and get them working and contributing to the Canadian economy faster.
3. 快速通道将在何时开始执行？
快速通道将从2015年1月年开始施行。
3. When will the Express Entry system be launched?
The Express Entry system will launch in January 2015.
4. 快速通道项目将适用于那些移民项目？
快速通道将适用于以下加拿大经济移民项目：
联邦技术移民；
联邦技工移民；以及
加拿大经验类移民。
为了迎合当地劳动力市场需求，各省及地区可以从快速通道池子中一部分省提名项目的候选人中招募员工。
4. Which immigration programs will be covered under the Express Entry system?
The Express Entry system will apply to the following Canadian economic immigration programs:
Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
Canadian Experience Class.
Provinces and territories will also be able to recruit candidates from the Express Entry system for a portion of the PNPs in order to meet local labour market needs.
5. 快速通道会改变移民项目的要求吗？
不会。快速通道不会改变移民项目的要求。快速通道并不是一个新的移民项目，他只是一种新的方式，使得加拿大移民局得以在线处理经济类移民申请。
5. Will Express Entry change immigration program requirements?
No. Express Entry will not change immigration program requirements. Express Entry is not a new program. It is a new way for CIC to manage the intake of economic immigration applications online.
6. 快速通道池子中的候选者有人数上限吗？
我们对快速通道池子中的人数并未规定上限。我们希望最终结果为雇主、省或是领地能得到一批富有经验和技术的员工来满足他们的市场要求。我们将以年移民水平计划中得到永久居民申请邀请函（ITA）的候选者为依据。此水平计划将为快速通道下的移民项目提供更大的录取范围。
快速通道将会为加拿大雇主们提供人才库存，以便他们在无法寻找到适合岗位的加拿大公民或永久居民时，得以从候选人中选择到高质量的人才。
在快速通道政策下，以劳工市场影响评估（LMIA）或是省、领地提名形式出现的劳动市场需求将给候选人提供组后的额外加分，从而使得候选人排名组足够靠前来在下一个候选人草案中得到邀请。为快速通道池子设立的草案将定期出台，各条草案的说明将发布在我们的网站上。请注意所有的工作邀请都将服从当时当地加拿大就业和社会发展部的劳工市场影响评估（LMIA）。
快速审理将使雇主与具有潜力的候选人双方受益。加拿大移民局的目标是，从我们接收到完整永久居民申请资料的那天开始，到审理结束的那一天，时间不超过六个月。
6. Will there be a cap on the number of candidates admitted to the Express Entry pool?
There is no limit to the number of people who may enter the Express Entry pool. We expect this to result in a range of candidates with a greater variety of skills and experience from which employers, provinces and territories can select to meet their needs. However, we will base the number of candidates who get an ITA for permanent residence on the Annual Immigration Levels Plan. The Levels Plan will still set out the broad admission ranges for the immigration programs that are part of Express Entry.
Express Entry will create an inventory of high-quality candidates who employers in Canada will be able to consider when they cannot find Canadians or permanent residents to fill job vacancies.
Under Express Entry, labour market demand, in the form of a job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a nomination by a province or territory will provide candidates with enough additional points and be ranked high enough to be invited to apply at the next eligible draw of candidates. Draws will be made from the Express Entry pool on a regular basis, and instructions for each draw will be posted on our website. Note that all job offers will be subject to Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC’s) LMIA requirements in place at that time.
Employers and potential candidates will also benefit from faster processing. CIC’s goal is a six-month or less processing time from the day we receive a complete application for permanent residence to the day a final decision is made.
7. 在开始施行快速通道前，加拿大移民局将如何处理收到的永久居民申请呢？
加拿大移民局在开始实施快速通道前收到的申请，审理方法以接收时的政策为准。
7. What will happen to permanent residence applications you receive before the launch of Express Entry?
Applications received by CIC before the launch of Express Entry will be processed according to the rules in place at that time.
