Check your scores:
Based on the information in your profile, your CRS score will be calculated. The CRS score is a critical factor in determining your ranking in the Express Entry pool. The highest CRS scores are invited to apply for permanent residency through Express Entry draws. You can check your scores using:
- Language Proficiency Test:
Demonstrate your language proficiency in English or French by taking approved language tests such as IELTS for English or TEF for French. Achieving higher language scores can significantly boost your CRS points and increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
- Educational Credential Assessment (ECA):
Obtain an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to evaluate the equivalence of your foreign educational qualifications with Canadian standards. A positive ECA result is a mandatory requirement for Express Entry candidates.
- Create Express Entry Profile:
Once you have gathered all the necessary documents, create your Express Entry profile online. Provide accurate information about your age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other relevant details.
- Provincial Nomination (PNP):
Consider applying for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nomination if you meet specific province-specific criteria. A provincial nomination can provide you with additional CRS points, significantly increasing your chances of receiving an ITA.
- Regular Express Entry Draws:
The Canadian government conducts regular Express Entry draws where candidates with the highest CRS scores are issued Invitations to Apply (ITA) for Canadian Permanent Residency.
- Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA):
If you receive an ITA, you will have a limited time (usually 60 days) to submit a complete Permanent Residency application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Most complete applications have all supporting documents processed in 6 months or less.
YOU CAN ONLY APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE THROUGH EXPRESS ENTRY IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO APPLY.
