Express Entry

Navigating the Express Entry system can be complex, but our experienced immigration lawyers are here to guide you through every step.

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is Canada’s primary system for managing applications for permanent residence under several economic immigration programs. It streamlines the process for skilled workers who want to live and work in Canada permanently.

How Does Express Entry Work?

Express Entry manages applications for three key immigration programs:

  1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For skilled professionals with foreign work experience.

  2. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP):For skilled workers qualified in a trade occupation.

  3. Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For individuals with Canadian work experience.

Provinces and territories can select candidates from the Express Entry pool and invite them to apply for a provincial nomination. If you are nominated, you receive an additional 600 points toward your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in the next Express Entry draw.

Why Choose Express Entry?

Express Entry is designed for skilled workers and professionals seeking to contribute to Canada’s economy. The system is points-based, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence. With Express Entry, you can:

  • Fast-Track Your Application: Most applications are processed within six months or less.

  • Secure Permanent Residency: Successful applicants receive Canadian permanent residency, allowing them to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada.

  • Gain Economic Opportunities: Canada’s thriving economy and high standard of living make it an attractive destination for skilled professionals worldwide.

Steps involved in the Express Entry system

Step 1: Create an Express Entry Profile

To begin, you must create an Express Entry profile online. This profile includes your personal information, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors. Your profile is then ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which assigns points based on these factors.

Step 2: Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

If your CRS score meets the threshold in one of the regular draws, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. This invitation is valid for 60 days, during which you must submit a complete application.

Step 3: Submit Your Application

Once you receive an ITA, you must submit your application for permanent residence, including all required documents such as proof of funds, medical exams, and police certificates.

Step 4: Await Processing

After submitting your application, you can expect a decision within six months. If approved, you and your family members will receive permanent residency in Canada.
