1. 快速通道是什麼，而它又是如何運作的呢？
快速通道是一種用來處理下列經濟類移民申請的新型方法：
聯邦技術移民；
聯邦技工移民；以及
加拿大經驗類移民。
為了迎合當地勞動力市場需求，各省及地區將被允許從快速通道池子中一部分省提名項目的候選人中招募員工。
在快速通道項目中，達到以上項目標準的候選人將進入候選人池子。加拿大、省、領地政府以及加拿大僱主們得以在池子中挑選員工。
就一個空缺的工作崗位來說，加拿大僱主們首先要全力找尋一個加拿大公民或者加拿大永久居民。合格僱主若實在無法找到加拿大公民或者加拿大永久居民來完成該工作，則可以從池子中挑選他們需要的候選人了。
快速通道以及加拿大找工平台將使得加拿大合格的僱主與國外技術性人才更加輕易的與對方溝通聯繫，如此一來，一旦這些技術人員移民至加拿大，他們將可以更快地融入加拿大。
池子中高分的候選人們將得到申請邀請函（ITA）。
候選人們得分的方面主要包括：
一個工作邀請 或；
一個省/領地提名 或；
技術及經驗——有助於候選人在加拿大成功與否的要素。
註：魁北克的省提名不受快速通道影響，魁北克將自主選擇技術人員。（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. 快速通道系統對加拿大有什麼裨益？
為了確保加拿大的經濟發展以及勞工市場需求，加拿大政府改革了其經濟移民系統。
快速通道是此次改革的關鍵部分，其使得系統更快速更靈活。此系統將使得加拿大移民局接受、審理申請：
審理的更加快捷而有效；
更好地承擔加拿大勞工市場的要求。
在快速通道系統中，我們將只接受那些得到我們邀請的特定經濟移民項目的候選者的申請。這樣可以確保申請不積壓，同時可以確保那些可能成功移民的候選人（並不單單是依照他們上交申請的順序）得以移民。
通過快速通道系統，大部分被邀申請移民的候選人將看到他們的永久居民的電子申請檔在六個月內受理完成。這種等待時間的減少使得加拿大得以與其他同行國家並駕齊驅，吸引更好的技術類移民同時也藉助他們的力量使得加拿大經濟更加蓬勃。
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. 快速通道將在何時開始執行？
快速通道將從2015年1月年開始施行。
3. When will the Express Entry system be launched?
The Express Entry system will launch in January 2015.
4. 快速通道項目將適用於那些移民項目？
快速通道將適用於以下加拿大經濟移民項目：
聯邦技術移民；
聯邦技工移民；以及
加拿大經驗類移民。
為了迎合當地勞動力市場需求，各省及地區可以從快速通道池子中一部分省提名項目的候選人中招募員工。
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. 快速通道會改變移民項目的要求嗎？
不會。快速通道不會改變移民項目的要求。快速通道並不是一個新的移民項目，他只是一種新的方式，使得加拿大移民局得以在線處理經濟類移民申請。
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選者有人數上限嗎？
我們對快速通道池子中的人數並未規定上限。我們希望最終結果為僱主、省或是領地能得到一批富有經驗和技術的員工來滿足他們的市場要求。我們將以年移民水平計劃中得到永久居民申請邀請函（ITA）的候選者為依據。此水平計劃將為快速通道下的移民項目提供更大的錄取範圍。
快速通道將會為加拿大僱主們提供人才庫存，以便他們在無法尋找到適合崗位的加拿大公民或永久居民時，得以從候選人中選擇到高質量的人才。
在快速通道政策下，以勞工市場影響評估（LMIA）或是省、領地提名形式出現的勞動市場需求將給候選人提供組後的額外加分，從而使得候選人排名組足夠靠前來在下一個候選人草案中得到邀請。為快速通道池子設立的草案將定期出台，各條草案的說明將發布在我們的網站上。請注意所有的工作邀請都將服從當時當地加拿大就業和社會發展部的勞工市場影響評估（LMIA）。
快速審理將使僱主與具有潛力的候選人雙方受益。加拿大移民局的目標是，從我們接收到完整永久居民申請資料的那天開始，到審理結束的那一天，時間不超過六個月。
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. 在開始施行快速通道前，加拿大移民局將如何處理收到的永久居民申請呢？
加拿大移民局在開始實施快速通道前收到的申請，審理方法以接收時的政策為準。
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.
