How can you immigrate to Canada? How you can protect yourself from fraud and what to expect after you arrive in Canada are part of what we share consistently. In this blog post, we are going to be covering what it takes to start the express entry process. Let’s go!!!

Canada launched the Express Entry system in 2015 to process permanent residence applications for skilled workers who want to live permanently in Canada.

Since then, hundreds of thousands of talented professionals from all over the world have used the Express Entry system to permanently relocate to Canada and eventually become citizens. Please note that it will take approximately three years of residing in Canada as a permanent resident before you are eligible for Canadian citizenship. But first, how do you become a permanent resident?

Express Entry administers three immigration programs:

  1. The Canadian Experience Class is for skilled workers with Canadian work experience who have earned that experience within the last three years.
  2. The Federal Skilled Worker Program is for skilled workers with international job experience who must meet education and other standards.
  3. The Federal Skilled Trades Program is for qualified, skilled workers who have a valid job offer or a certificate of qualification.

If you are eligible for one of the programs listed above, you can also apply for the Provincial Nominee Program through Express Entry. If you are nominated, you will receive bonus points and will be requested to apply as soon as possible.

Step 2: Review your results.
If you meet the eligibility requirements for one or more Express Entry programs and submit your profile, you will be rated in the Express Entry pool using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Create an express entry account, in which you will be placed in a pool with others who are also eligible, given a score, and ranked based on a variety of characteristics If you are one of the top prospects, you will be invited to apply to become a permanent resident of Canada.

The CRS is a point-based system that is utilized to evaluate and rank your profile in the Express Entry pool. To get invited, you must have a score higher than the minimum points required for your round of invitations.

You can only apply online if you are sent an application invitation. Completing an Express Entry profile online or entering the pool does not guarantee that you will be invited to apply for permanent residence.

Step 3: Complete your profile
Your Express Entry profile is where you tell IRCC about yourself.

If you are eligible, you will be accepted into the applicant pool and assigned a CRS score.
Express Entry lotteries are normally held every two weeks; if you fulfil the criteria for a particular draw, you will be invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
