Express Entry is an online application system for immigration to Canada. It allows individuals to submit their profiles and receive points for their efforts. The system also prioritizes the highest-ranked applicants based on various selection criteria.
This guide will help you understand the various steps involved in applying for permanent residence under the Express Entry system. If you feel this program can benefit you, get in touch with Nanda & Associate Lawyers’ team of experienced immigration lawyers today. Let’s get started!
Find your National Occupational Classification (NOC) and Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)
You must first check that your work experience meets the requirements of the NOC system to be considered for the program. You can also check the category of your work experience that matches the requirements of the Express entry system. Your foreign educational credentials must be assessed by an approved third party.
Take English or French language Tests
You must first take the English and/or French language tests to qualify for the program. There are four IRCC-approved tests that you can take to be eligible for express entry. These include IELTS, CELPIP, TEF, and TCF.
Check Your Eligibility
Before you can start working on the Express Entry system, you must ensure that you are eligible to participate in various economic immigration programs. This step is very important as it will allow you to get into the pool of candidates and avoid getting rejected. Before you start working on the program, you must understand the various requirements of the different programs.
Calculate Your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score
The next step is calculating the comprehensive ranking system’s (CRS) score. This is the one that determines which candidate will be considered for the program. You will need to have the results of the ECA and the language tests to estimate your score accurately. This tool by the CICÂ allows you to enter details about yourself to find your score.
After taking the language exams and getting your ECA, you must verify that you are eligible to participate in the program through the Come to Canada Tool.
Receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
If you have enough points to qualify for the program, you will receive an invitation to apply through the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. After receiving an invitation to apply, you will have 60 days to complete the necessary documents and submit them.
Your Document Checklist
You will then need to upload the documents needed for Express Entry, such as police certificates, medical exams, proof of funds, and birth certificate. You will also need to know which documents must be in electronic format and how they should be organized.
Acknowledgment of Receipt (​AoR) and Passport Request (PPR)
After you have submitted your documents, you will be able to learn about the various steps involved in the approval process for your application. You can also see how your application is progressing through the process in your Express entry profile.
