The first step is to create an online profile which is known as an Express Entry Profile. It will include your work experience, language proficiencies, skills, and educational credentials. Once you fill in the Express Entry profile you will be added to the Express Entry pool of candidates. You will be scored and ranked according to the strength of your profile.

You can take up to 60 days to complete it. Once your profile is added to the Express Entry pool you can make a Job Match account with Job Bank which will help you extensively in your job search. This will help you not only to find suitable jobs according to your credentials but also to help you promote yourself to top employers and recruiters. A valid job offer may lead to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevisacanada.com\/services\/labour-market-impact-assessment-lmia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Labour Market Impact Assessment (LIMA)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by your employer, which can add additional points to your Express Entry Profile.<\/p><p>It is a misconception that Canada&#8217;s Express Entry is a new route of immigration. No, it is not a new route but rather can be called a new application management system to handle the applications under already existing routes of Skilled Immigration Streams. One has still to be qualified in any one of the already existing streams to get qualified for Express Entry to Canada.<\/p><p>Canada Express Entry system was launched to expedite the old application processing system which was taking years to process the skilled worker applications.

Round of Invitations for Express Entry is normally held on a biweekly basis or as needed.<\/p><p>Canada picks the best possible candidates who are more likely to become successful in their new life in Canada through the Express Entry system.

Before registration with Job Bank, Canada was mandatory but now it is optional, but it is a good way to get connected to relevant Canadian employers who are looking for suitable candidates. If an employer is willing to hire a candidate from the Express Entry pool of candidates then most often they will need to obtain a\u00a0<u><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevisacanada.com\/services\/labour-market-impact-assessment-lmia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)<\/a><\/strong><\/u>\u00a0through\u00a0<strong>Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)<\/strong>. This will give an additional 50 or 200 points (depending upon NOC type) to candidates and can make their ranking better.\u00a0<\/p><p>There are certain cases when there is no labor market impact assessment (LMIA) report is required and a candidate can still get additional points. These job offers come under <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thevisacanada.com\/lmia-exempt-job-offers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>LMIA-exempt job offers<\/u><\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p><p>In no way, it is a guarantee that candidates who created and submitted their Express Entry profile will be invited to apply for permanent residence, as it will primarily be dependent on their standings or ranking in the Express Entry pool of candidates.<\/p><h2><strong>Stage 2: Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residence (PR)<\/strong><\/h2><p>Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada often hold Express Entry draws called \u201cExpress Entry rounds of Invitation\u201d and send an invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residence status in Canada, to a certain number of candidates (as per requirements). These draws are most often held on every second Wednesday or as required.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Candidate who ranked high in the Express Entry pool of candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residence status in Canada. Candidates have only 90 days to submit their completed electronic application once they receive an invitation to apply (ITA).\u00a0<\/p><p>Those candidates who have successfully submitted their Express Entry profile but failed to get an invitation to apply due to their low CRS score can remain in the Express Entry pool of candidates for twelve (12) months, from the creation of their profile. Upon reaching twelve (12) months their Express Entry profile will be eliminated from the Express Entry pool of candidates. Candidates can resubmit their profile provided they meet the minimum eligibility criteria of any skilled stream as mentioned above and meet the entry criteria of the Express Entry pool of candidates.<\/p><p>In this way, Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada makes sure that there are no backlogs and allows them to process the application quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de0d52b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"de0d52b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77d896a elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"77d896a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/adpX-wUVzJQ&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99a4565 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"99a4565\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-040fe59 inner-content elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"040fe59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>What to do next?<\/strong><\/h3><p>Once you have uploaded your profile and received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada, make sure that you have submitted your complete application and paid your fees.
