#Express Entry
Permanent Residency through Express Entry Program (NOC O, A or B only)You must be eligible for one of Canada’s three economic class immigration streams:
  1. Federal Skilled Worker Program
  2. Federal Skilled Trades Program
  3. Canadian Experience Class
Express Entry is Canada’s application management system for economic class immigration. Candidates are ranked based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which allocates up to 1,200 points. Those who meet or exceed the minimum threshold for a given draw may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Additionally, candidates nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) can receive an extra 600 CRS points, significantly boosting their chances. The highest-ranking individuals in the pool are invited to apply for permanent residency and are given 60 days to submit their application. While creating an Express Entry profile is free, government fees apply once an ITA is issued and the candidate proceeds with their PR application.

How To Proceed

To apply through Express Entry, you must create an online candidate profile. This profile stays active in the candidate pool for up to one year unless you are selected. You can update your profile at any time during this period—for instance, if you’ve earned a new diploma or improved your IELTS scores. Note that your CRS score will automatically adjust with age, potentially decreasing on your birthday according to the age points chart.

If you do not have a secured job offer, it is recommended to register with the Canada Job Bank. Promoting yourself to potential employers can significantly increase your chances of receiving a job offer and, in turn, a higher CRS score.

Express Entry draws typically occur every few weeks. If selected, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residence and have 60 days to submit all required documents and information.

The processing time by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is usually around six months, though this may vary depending on application volume and case complexity.
