Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand and navigate the Express Entry process:

Express Entry Process

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Determine Eligibility:

  2. Gather Documents:

    • Language Test: Take a recognized language test like IELTS or CELPIP for English, or TEF for French.
    • Educational Credential Assessment (ECA): Get your foreign education credentials assessed by an approved organization.
    • Work Experience Documentation: Gather reference letters from employers and proof of work experience.
    • Identity Documents: Valid passport, birth certificate, etc.

  3. Create an Express Entry Profile:

    • Complete an online Express Entry profile through the IRCC website.
    • You will be assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability.

  4. Enter the Express Entry Pool:

    • Submit your profile to enter the pool of candidates.
    • Your profile is valid for one year, during which you can improve your score and ranking.

  5. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA):

    • If you meet the cut-off score in the regular Express Entry draws, you will receive an ITA.
    • Draws typically occur every two weeks, and the cut-off score varies.

  6. Submit Application for Permanent Residency:

    • After receiving an ITA, you have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residency.
    • This includes uploading supporting documents and paying the application fees.

  7. Medical Exam and Police Certificates:

    • Undergo a medical examination by an approved panel physician.
    • Obtain police clearance certificates from countries where you have lived for more than six months.

    • The processing time is typically six months, but it can vary.

  9. Receive Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR):

    • Once approved, you will receive a COPR and instructions on how to complete the landing process in Canada.

  10. Arrive in Canada:

    • Land in Canada with your COPR and other required documents to officially become a permanent resident.

# Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)

The CRS is used to score and rank Express Entry candidates. Points are awarded for:

  • Core Human Capital Factors: Age, education, language proficiency, Canadian work experience.
  • Skill Transferability Factors: Combination of education and work experience.
  • Additional Factors: Sibling in Canada, French language proficiency, Canadian education, and job offer.

The maximum CRS score is 1,200 points. Here’s a brief breakdown:

  • Core Factors: Up to 600 points.
  • Skill Transferability: Up to 100 points.
  • Additional Factors: Up to 600 points (e.g., job offer, provincial nomination).

# Improving Your CRS Score

  • Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Receiving a nomination from a province can add 600 points to your CRS score.

# Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Express Entry candidates can also apply for nomination through a PNP. Provinces and territories in Canada have their own immigration programs targeting specific skill needs.

  • Express Entry Streams: Many provinces have streams aligned with Express Entry, allowing you to be nominated for provincial immigration while in the Express Entry pool.
  • Applying for PNP: Apply directly to a province’s PNP. If nominated, you will receive additional CRS points.
