# Express Entry

The Express Entry hub is at
[`/app/immireport/pr/ee`](https://my.lexpoint.io/app/immireport/pr/ee), one level under the Permanent
Residence hub. It carries your CRS score, its breakdown, your position in the pool, and one card per
stream Lexpoint evaluates.

## Your CRS score and its breakdown

A sticky panel on the left shows your CRS total out of 600 with a progress bar, and a chip reading
**Self-declared** — hovering it explains that the number is *estimated from the answers in your
Immireport profile — not your IRCC Express Entry pool score*.

Under it, **Score Breakdown** splits the total into the four components Lexpoint stores separately:

| Component | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Core | Your own age, education, language, and Canadian work experience factors |
| Spouse | Your accompanying partner's contribution, when one applies |
| Transferability | Points from combinations of your factors |
| Additional | Everything scored outside the core factors |

Each opens to show the rows behind it. The spouse component is shown only when your profile records
an accompanying spouse who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

## The base programs

Three cards are always shown, under the heading **Express Entry Programs**:

| Card | Lexpoint's description |
|---|---|
| **Federal Skilled Worker** (FSW) | For skilled workers with foreign work experience |
| **Canadian Experience Class** (CEC) | For skilled workers with Canadian work experience |
| **Federal Skilled Trades** (FST) | For qualified tradespersons |

Each links to its own page, where the requirements section lists what Lexpoint checked and whether
each row is met.

## The category streams

Under **Category-Based Draws**, Lexpoint shows five active streams:

| Card | Lexpoint's description |
|---|---|
| **French Language Proficiency** | Strong French language skills |
| **Healthcare Occupations** | For healthcare professionals |
| **Education Occupations** | For education professionals |
| **Skilled Trades** | For skilled trades workers |
| **STEM Occupations** | Science, Technology, Engineering, Math |

**Agriculture and Agri-Food** appears separately as discontinued, with the note *Category-based draws
ended 2026 — kept for reference*. It is excluded from the eligible count on the hub and from the
stream switcher, but its page still opens.

That makes eight active streams — the denominator in the **Express Entry** count on the ImmiReport
hub. A stream is counted as eligible when Lexpoint's evaluation of your profile sets its flag; the
count is a plain tally of those flags.

:::note[Category streams are ranked by the same score]
Every card shows your CRS total, because all of them are. What a category changes is which profiles
are in the running for a given draw, not how those profiles are scored. The requirements section on
a category page is where the difference lives.

## Comparing your score to a cutoff

Where Lexpoint has a recent cutoff to compare against, a card shows one of three states:

| State | When |
|---|---|
| **Above Cutoff** | Your score is at or above the cutoff — the card also shows the margin |
| **Near Cutoff** | You are within 5% of it, with the points-away figure |
| **Below Range** | Further than that, with the points-away figure |

## Your position in the pool

The hub also estimates where you sit among everyone in the Express Entry pool, from IRCC's published
pool snapshot. Lexpoint places you in one of five bands:

| Band | Label |
|---|---|
| Top 10% | Highly Competitive |
| Top 10–25% | Competitive |
| Top 25–50% | Moderate |
| Top 50–75% | Below Average |
| Bottom 25% | Needs Improvement |

IRCC publishes the pool in wide score bands rather than per score. Where your score falls inside one
of those bands, Lexpoint spreads that band's candidates evenly across the scores in it to estimate
your rank within it, and marks the result as estimated. It is a position, not a headcount.

## Moving between streams

A pill switcher under the page header splits at a divider: FSW, CEC, and FST on the left; French,
Healthcare, STEM, Trade, and Education on the right. It appears on the hub and on every Express Entry
program page, and the pill for the page you are on is filled in.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the CRS score on this page my real Express Entry pool score?

No, and Lexpoint labels it Self-declared for that reason. It is estimated from the answers in your Lexpoint profile. Your official score is the one IRCC calculates from the Express Entry profile you submit to them.

### Why does every Express Entry stream show the same score?

Because they share one. All eight streams Lexpoint evaluates are ranked by the same CRS total; what differs between them is the requirements you must clear to be counted in that stream's draws.

### What happened to the Agriculture category?

Lexpoint marks it discontinued and moved it into an archived section on the hub. Its page is kept for reference, and it is no longer counted in the eligible-stream total or shown in the stream switcher.
