Canada’s Express Entry system is one of the fastest and most efficient ways for skilled workers to obtain permanent residency (PR). Whether you’re a professional looking to build your future in Canada or an employer seeking to hire top talent, Express Entry is a streamlined immigration pathway that prioritizes qualified individuals based on their skills, work experience, and education.

 

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is an online immigration system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to manage applications for three major economic immigration programs:

✔ Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) – For skilled professionals with work experience and education outside of Canada.
✔ Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) – For experienced tradespeople in high-demand industries.
✔ Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – For individuals with skilled work experience in Canada.

Additionally, provinces and territories can select candidates from the Express Entry pool through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which can significantly boost a candidate’s chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

 

How Express Entry Works

1. Determine Eligibility – We assess whether you qualify for one of the three Express Entry programs.

2. Create an Express Entry Profile – Submit an online profile with details about your work experience, education, language skills, and other qualifications.

3. Receive a CRS Score – Your profile is ranked in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which assigns points based on key factors.

4. Get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) – The highest-ranking candidates receive an ITA in one of IRCC’s periodic draws.

5. Submit Your PR Application – If you receive an ITA, you have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence.

6. Processing & Approval – Most Express Entry applications are processed in six months or less!

 

What is the CRS Score?

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) assigns points to candidates based on factors like:

✔ Age
✔ Education
✔ Work experience (Canadian & international)
✔ Language proficiency (English and/or French – IELTS/TEF scores required)
✔ Provincial nomination (600 additional points!)
✔ Job offer from a Canadian employer
✔ Canadian study experience

Higher scores improve your chances of receiving an ITA. We can help you maximize your CRS score by identifying areas where you can gain additional points.

 

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) & Express Entry

Many provinces and territories have PNP streams linked to Express Entry. If you receive a provincial nomination, you gain an additional 600 CRS points, essentially guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the next Express Entry draw.

Popular Express Entry-aligned PNPs include:

✔ Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
✔ British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
✔ Alberta Express Entry Stream
✔ Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

If you’re eligible for a PNP, we can guide you through the application process to increase your CRS score and improve your chances of selection.

 

Why Choose Express Entry?

✔ Fast processing times – Most applications are processed within six months.
✔ No job offer required – While having a job offer boosts your score, it is not mandatory.
✔ Pathway to citizenship – Express Entry PR holders can apply for Canadian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
✔ Family included – You can include your spouse and dependent children in your PR application.
