What is Express Entry & who is it for?

Express Entry is an application process for skilled workers who would like to permanently live in Canada (i.e., gain permanent residency). You can find out whether you qualify as a skilled worker by filling out a quick online eligibility questionnaire (find out more on this below).

What are the steps I need to take to qualify for Express Entry?

Step 1:

Check your eligibility

See if you are eligible for Express Entry by filling out this eligibility questionnaire.

Step 2:

Estimate your ranking for the Express Entry draw

To be invited to submit an Express Entry application, you need a specific score on the Comprehensive Ranking System. You can estimate your score here: CRS Tool: Estimate your ranking score

Step 3:

Book an IELTS language test & prepare your documents

If you haven’t yet taken an English language test, you should book an IELTS test right away as you will need proof of your results for the application. There is also some additional documentation you might need for the Express Entry application process. You can see these here: Documents for Express Entry

Step 4:

Create Express Entry profile

Once you have everything you need for your application, you must create & submit “a profile” to see if it gets accepted to the Express Entry draw. You can create and submit your Express Entry profile here: Create Express Entry Profile

Step 5:

Await your invitation, then apply

Following submission of your profile, you await your invitation to apply for Express Entry. If you receive an invitation, you then have 60 days to apply. You can do that by clicking here: Apply for permanent residence: Express Entry
