Express Entry Program was launched on 1st Jan’ 2015, envisaged to tackle the problems of long processing time, delayed visas and flawed selection criteria of firs come first served faced by the candidates during the previous visa regime. The new system took care of these problematic issues and resulted in faster and systematic application handling bringing the total time taken to less than six months. It also brought in the much needed transparency and merit based selection system through introduction of point based system called as CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System).

The first step to your Express Entry Application is to get your Educational credential assessment (ECA) done. ECA is a process through which your foreign degree, diploma, or certificates are validated and given equivalence to corresponding qualifications in Canada.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has designated various professional bodies for your ECA work. The processing time and charges may vary and candidates are required to do their due diligence before applying to any of these authorized bodies.

Proof of English proficiency is one of the most important requirements for successful express entry application. Candidates must prepare well for the IELTS exam and score minimum of 6 bands in each of the four modules to be eligible to apply.

Armed with both ECA and IELTS score, candidate is required to create his profile and submit the expression of interest (EOI) in the Express Entry pool. Use the following link to create your express entry profile

Information such as your age, IELTS score, Education Qualifications, Work Experience, blood relatives already in Canada and Canadian job offer will decide your CRS Score and ranking in the express entry pool.
Before applying for the express entry, Please calculate your Comprehensive Ranking Score using a below mentioned CRS calculator on the Canadian Government website. This will help you understand how well your chances of getting through are.

ITA is an auto-generated e-mail correspondence sent to the candidates in their express entry pool account. The highest rank holders in the CRS during a specific draw are issued ITA by the authorities.

Once the candidate receives an ITA, he/she gets 60 days to either accept the ITA and submit a complete application with all supporting documents or decline the ITA by clicking the relevant options in their online express entry account.

Once you accept the ITA and submit all the supporting documents for further scrutiny by the CIC (Canada immigration consultants & Citizenship) department and then wait for its final approval.

This is the final step to your journey to Canada.

There are many provinces in Canada offering their own Provincial Nomination Programs having their own set of requirements and Job occupation list. Candidates with lower CRS score but otherwise good profile target the PNP route to migrate to Canada.
