What is
Express Entry?
The Express Entry system is a point-based
system that is run by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Canada. It is
meant for managing the applications of the skilled workers who are willing to
become permanent residents of Canada. It is, by far, the quickest and easiest
way to apply for a PR Visa to Canada.
How does
Express Entry Work?
Express Entry Canada Requirements
The Express Entry is an online portal for
skilled and qualified immigrants under which the Federal Govt. of Canada
ensures if the Candidate is eligible for the program. The eligible candidates’
applications are then sent to the express entry pool for further process. Your
profile is ranked under the Express Entry pool according to the Comprehensive
Ranking System (CRS). The CRS score is calculated based on certain factors that
include:
·
Language – Maximum 28 points. The points you are awarded are based on approved
language testing results in English and/or French. Any candidate must score at
least 6 points in each language category (speaking, listening, reading, and
writing) in IELTS General if English is the primary language.
·
Education – Maximum 25 points. The points you are awarded are based on the outcome
of an approved education evaluation office in Canada.
·

awarded are based on your profession and the number of years you have been
employed.

receive the maximum points, with 1 point lost for each year past 35.
Additional points are awarded for other
factors, including you (or your spouse or common-law partner’s) ties to Canada
and arranged employment.
What is the process of applying through Express Entry?
The application through the Express Entry
program is a straightforward process. Here’s the Canada Express Entry Process
step by step:
·
Profile Competency Evaluation: The first step in the process is to check
whether you’re eligible for the program or not; according to the eligibility
criteria set by the IRCC post, you submit an Express Entry profile. Under this
section, the Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) analyses the
profile of the Candidate and suggests the best program suitable for him
according to the profile evaluation report scores received by the Candidate
based on the Canada Express Entry point calculator. The minimum score is 67 on
a scale of 100, which is further calculated on the scale of 1200 points.
·
Documentation: The next step after the profile evaluation
is to collect all the applicant’s necessary documents, which are required in
the course of the application process. However, the Candidate must ensure that
the documents submitted by the Candidate should be valid and authentic.
·
The Express Entry Pool: Once the submitted documents are checked and
verified, the applicant’s profile is registered in the Express Entry Pool,
wherein the Candidate’s profile remains active for one year. After that, the
Candidate’s profile is shortlisted based on the Comprehensive Ranking System
(CRS). According to this, if the Candidate’s score is equal to or more than the
prescribed CRS from the federal govt. of Canada, then s/he is likely to receive
an ITA.
·
Invitation To Apply (ITA): If the Candidate is lucky enough to get
selected by the Govt. of Canada, according to the scores obtained. The
applicant then becomes eligible to receive an ITA. The invitations are issued
to the applicants immediately after the RCIC performs a Canadian draw express entry
from the EE pool.
·
Application for Permanent Residency (APR): Congratulations on making it to the ITA. Now
you’re eligible to apply for the Permanent Residency status. However, you need
to ensure that you will be given only 60 days to get all the documentation done
and apply for the PR.
·
Visa Application: Once you’re done with all the formalities and
documentation process, you can walk up to the Canadian embassy for the Visa
application.
This was the Canada Express Entry Process step
by step, and at every step, PAIC will serve you with its expertise.
