Express Entry

Canada is changing its economic immigration programs to give more opportunities to prospective skilled immigrants. Starting January 2015, skilled foreign workers will have access to Express Entry, which will cover Canada’s key economic immigration programs:

the Federal Skilled Worker Program,
the Federal Skilled Trades Program,
the Canadian Experience Class, and
A portion of Provincial Nominee Programs

Candidates who are invited to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system will benefit from fast processing times of six months or less.Express Entry will also provide a pathway for skilled workers to connect with potential job opportunities in Canada prior to arrival.Express Entry will ensure that the candidates who are most likely to succeed economically – not simply those first in line – are able to immigrate to Canada.

How Express Entry Works

Step 1

Potential candidates create an online Express Entry profile

Express your interest in coming to Canada as a skilled foreign worker. Starting in January 2015, create an online Express Entry profile and tell us about your skills, work experience, language ability, education and other details.

Before doing this, you will need to take a language test in English or French. If you were educated outside of Canada, you may also need to have your education assessed against Canadian standards. More information on language and education assessments is available online.

If you meet the criteria of one of the federal economic immigration programs subject to Express Entry, you will be placed in a pool of pre-screened candidates.

If you do not already have a Canadian job offer or a nomination from a province/territory, you must register with the Government of Canada’s Job Bank. Job Bank is an easy, online search tool that will help you get matched with jobs in Canada based on your skills, knowledge and experience.

Express Entry Pool

You will be given a score to determine your place in the Express Entry pool using a Comprehensive Ranking System that includes factors known to contribute to economic success (such as language, education, and work experience).

There will be regular draws of candidates from the Express Entry pool, inviting them to apply for permanent residence. Candidates with the highest scores, including those who have a valid job offer or a provincial/territorial nomination, will be invited to apply.

Your Express Entry profile will be valid for 12 months. During that time, you will need to update your profile if circumstances change, such as your level of education or language test results.

Important: Filling out an online Express Entry profile is not a guarantee that you will qualify for permanent residence. If you are invited to apply for permanent residence, information provided in your Express Entry profile will be verified at that time.

Step 2

Selected candidates are invited to submit an electronic application for permanent residence

You will receive an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence if you:

have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada (subject to the Labour Market Impact Assessment process in place at that time);
have been nominated by a province or territory; or
are among the top ranked in the pool based on your skills and experience.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will process the majority of complete permanent residence applications received within six months or less.

Candidates in the Express Entry pool who do not receive an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence after 12 months can resubmit their profile and re-enter the pool if they still meet the criteria.

Hi,

We have started the Express entry PR process. My Fiance is waiting on his LMIA and degree transfer. I am on his application as a common law partner (We have the paperwork needed for this). The only thing I’m unsure of is if I need to do a language test and transfer my degree also? What are the requirements for spouses with this application process?

Thank You
Grace

- CICS Immigration Team on May 6, 2015 at 4:38 am said:
  
  It is not required for the spouse/common-law to write a language test or have credentials assessed. It would add points to the EE application, but if you have an LMIA coming, then there is no point.

Syed Rahman on May 6, 2015 at 12:33 pm said:

I understand ECA is only for primary applicant. However, if ECA for secondary applicant is also done, can the additional relevant points against her education add to my points? Moreover, if the secondary applicant wants to work in Canada, would it be required to show ECA then?

Also, I understand reference letter for work experience is must. I was planning to have my wife apply as primary applicant. Out of the 10 yrs of experience she has been able to obtain reference letter for 7 yrs but they have not mentioned roles and responsibilities, just name, designation, period of service. Will it be accepted?

Many thanks for your support in advance.
