EXPRESS ENTRY
Canada Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residence under three federal economic immigration programs.
Eligible candidates for these programs can create an online profile through the Express Entry system and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the Canadian government. Candidates are then ranked based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which takes into account factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other criteria.
The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular Express Entry draws that are conducted by the Canadian government. Once an invitation to apply (ITA) is received, the candidate has 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence.
Canada Express Entry is a popular immigration program that offers a faster and more efficient way to obtain permanent residence in Canada. However, it is important to note that meeting the eligibility criteria and obtaining a high CRS score is crucial for success in the Express Entry system.
You must meet the eligibility requirements for one of the programs to apply through Express Entry.
Create an Express Entry profile online and provide information about your age, education credential assessment, work experience, language proficiency, and other details.
If your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is high enough, you may be invited to apply for permanent residence through regular Express Entry draws. If you receive an invitation, you will have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence and undergo medical and security checks.
If your application is approved, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and can then become a permanent resident of Canada.
