What Express Entry means for Sudanese applicants
Express Entry is the online system IRCC uses to manage three federal economic programs Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). For Sudanese applicants, FSW is generally the relevant entry point. Creating a profile and being ranked doesn't require any in-person step at all it's the later stages, after an ITA, where current embassy logistics matter.
The 67-point grid separate from your CRS score
Before your CRS score matters at all, you need 67 out of 100 points on the FSW selection grid to be eligible for the pool.
Language (28 pts max)
IELTS General or CELPIP scores across reading, writing, listening, speaking.
Education (25 pts max)
Requires an ECA with translated transcripts.
Work experience (15 pts max)

How your ranking score is built
| Component | Max points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Core factors (age, education, language, Canadian experience) | 500 | For single applicants |
| Skill transferability | 100 | Combinations like education + language, or foreign experience + language |
| Provincial nomination | +600 | Virtually guarantees an ITA in the next draw |
What the Khartoum suspension actually changes
Creating a profile, being ranked, and receiving an ITA all happen online and are unaffected by embassy status. What does need planning: biometrics, which must be completed at an operating VAC often in a third country given the current situation. We work through this specifically with each applicant based on their current location.
