Express Entry Canada 2024
Welcome to RightWay Canada, your trusted partner in navigating Canada’s Express Entry immigration system. With our team of top rated Express Entry consultants, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve your Canadian immigration goals smoothly and efficiently.
Canada has one of the most positive immigration policies in the world and welcomes more than 500,000 new immigrants each year. According to an international survey conducted recently, 53 percent of adults in the world’s 24 leading countries said they would immigrate to Canada. While Canada offers a great choice of both Federal and Provincial immigration programs, immigration to Canada has become increasingly popular due to the main driver of the Canadian immigration system – Express Entry.
Without a cap on the number of applications being accepted for processing, applicants can submit their Express Entry profiles at any time without being concerned that the program will close or fill up before their application is completed. Express Entry candidates receive priority processing and increased accessibility for candidates with a valid job offer from a broader range of skilled occupations matching a certain NOC code. This gives eligible applicants the chance to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), settle in Canada permanently, and receive a Canadian Permanent Residency (PR). Upon receiving an invitation to apply, candidates will be required to submit additional forms and files like medical exams, police certificates, and biometrics.
All immigration programs managed under the Express Entry system have different eligibility criteria. The programs are the Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class. Thus, the ability to qualify under one of these categories is the first requirement under Express Entry. Applicants are advised to check all the details and the eligibility requirements of each program.
Navigating the Express Entry system can be complex and daunting, but with our team of top rated immigration consultants by your side, the process becomes much smoother. There are certain ways in which we can help you. First of all, to get personalized services and answers to all of your questions and doubts, you can book a consultation with our seasoned immigration consultants for help and guidance. To better understand your eligibility for the Canadian Express Entry system on your own, you can use our Express Entry Calculator, which is a user-friendly tool designed to help you be better prepared for your upcoming application process. We pride ourselves on providing transparent guidance, services, and all the necessary tools aimed at our clients’ success. If you wish to gain more insights into the most popular questions asked about Express Entry, you can take a look at some of the FAQs regarding the system.
Express Entry Pool of Candidates
Express Entry is a system that involves two steps: 1. Create and complete an online Express Entry profile, and be placed in a pool of candidates, and 2. Receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence from IRCC. Candidates in the pool are ranked using a point-based system (CRS). Getting into Express Entry doesn’t guarantee an invitation to apply, since applicants have to meet all eligibility and admissibility requirements. Upon entering the pool, candidates are assigned a CRS score based on education, specific TEER category either foreign or Canadian work experience, language proficiency (IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF assessment of CLB level), and other criteria. To boost their CRS scores, applicants may be eligible for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). You can learn more about programs managed by Express Entry Ontario provincial streams. The three Express Entry streams that are managed by the OINP are the Human Capital Priorities Stream, the French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program.
The highest-ranking candidates are regularly selected from the draw and invited to apply for a Canadian Permanent Resident status to contribute to the economic goals set by IRCC.

How to Create Express Entry Profile
Check EligibIlity
Before starting the process, it is very important to make sure that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for at least one of the programs managed by the Express Entry system by checking the profile requirements. Ineligible profiles will not have the chance to be considered for the Express Entry system. You can also learn more about the Express Entry streams managed by the OINP and their eligibility requirements here.
Collect Documents
Some of the documents required to open an Express Entry profile include but are not limited to: a passport or a travel document, language test results, an Educational Credential Assessment report (ECA), a job offer if necessary, and a Provincial Nomination certificate if available. Candidates may change or update their information if they find it necessary.
Creating the EE profile
Candidates are required to create and manage their profiles directly on the IRCC website. Applicants will be required to follow the steps as described on the website by providing personal information, appropriate forms, and any other details that may be listed. Candidates can also check the status of their applications directly on the website.
Submit the Profile
Once the candidates have checked that all the information and documents provided are correct and up-to-date, they can submit their profile and enter the Express Entry pool. The profiles are valid for up to a year or until the applicant is offered an Invitation to Apply (ITA). In case the applicant has not received one, their profile will automatically expire after a year.
Change, Withdraw or Resubmit
Applicants have the chance to alter, cancel, or withdraw their applications before they receive their invitations to apply.
Wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
The Express Entry system periodically sends invitations to apply for permanent residence to eligible candidates in various occupations. Applicants are required to finalize their applications in either the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, or Federal Skilled Trades and apply for permanent residency in 60 days. Meanwhile, learn more about the latest updates and recent Express Entry draws.
Document Checklist, Application Fees & Processing Time
IRCC Document Checklist
Candidates are required to submit various documents depending on the stage of their application. For the first stage, for profile creation and to enter the Express Entry pool and be ranked against other candidates, some of these documents should be available at hand:
- A passport or a travel document
- Language exam certificate
- Proof of either Canadian or foreign education
- Provincial nomination
- Written job offer from an eligible Canadian employer
- Proof of eligible work experience
- Certification as proof of skilled trade issued by Canadian authorities
- Proof of settlement funds
IRCC Application Fees
While the cost of creating an Express Entry profile and being ranked in the Express Entry pool is free, there are certain expenses associated with the next steps of the application process. If a candidate is invited to apply for permanent residency, the processing fee is $850, while the permanent residence fee is $515 adding up to a total of $1,365. If you decide to retain us as your representative, some professional fees will be applied.
IRCC Processing Time
Express Entry processing times depend on the individual application and the particular case. However, generally, candidates can expect a processing time of around 6 months. This timeline is determined by the complexity of the case and certain circumstances of the application.
