How does Express Entry work in Canada and how is it similar to New Zealand's system?

Both Canada’s Express Entry and New Zealand’s skilled migration systems use a points-based approach to select candidates for permanent residence.

- Canada Express Entry: You create an online profile and are scored on factors like age, education, work experience, and language ability. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular draws.
- New Zealand: You submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and are scored on similar factors, including age, qualifications, work experience, and English proficiency. Top candidates may be invited to apply for residence.

Both systems aim to attract skilled migrants who can contribute economically.
