A lot of things announced so far on the Express Entry (to begin Jan 2015) are still quite vague, to the point where I feel the CIC has yet to finish the final touch on the new system.

My biggest question though is the following:

**Once the current immigration system is converted to the Express Entry in Jan 2015, and I did not get the invitation to apply (ITA), what is my option at that point?**

Do I get to apply in a different stream (that is, non-Express Entry) at that time?
Will there even be such thing as a non-Express Entry system for people who are not highest qualified candidates?

It appears that the Express Entry will only favor the "highest qualified candidate" (this has yet to be defined in terms of skills, language proficiency, or the job), and the ones that are not highest qualified candidates may not even get a chance to apply.

As I understand, you can reapply for the express entry after one year, if denied...

THAT'S NOT SO EXPRESS HAHA >:(

I know... it is called express only because if selected, your application will be processed within 6 months. but that is only if you scale through the first stage...
